your welcome

Explanation:

42+43=85$

Answer 2

Explanation:

This is a simple linear equation.

Y=12x + 43

The 12x represents the money he makes hourly, as x represents each hour he works

+43 represents the amount of money in tips he made since this was added on top of the hourly pay he was making.
