Question

The coffee shop owner explains that she will work 12 more than twice as many hours as you. She will work 50 hours each week. Write an explanation that describes the situation and describe what the variable represents

Answer 1

Let x be the number of hours worked by me in a week.

Let y be the number of hours worked by the coffee shop owner in a week.

Given, the coffee shop owner work 12 more than twice as many hour as you. Hence, we can write

`y=12+2x`

Given, the coffee shop owner works 50 hours for each week.

Put y=50 in the above equation.

`50=12+2x`
