Question

3) Kevin made $9 per hour working as a

lifeguard. How many hours did he work
this week if his weekly pay before
deductions was $288? Define a variable
and write an equation. Solve the equation.

Answer 1

Answer: 9x = 288, 32 hours

Explanation:

x can be the variable and it represents the hours he worked. 9 is the amount made each hour, so it is multiplied by x. 288 is the total made, so 9x=288.

9x = 288 Divide by 9 on both sides to isolate x
x = 32 hours. Kevin worked 32 hours this week

Answer 2

Answer:32

Step-by-step explanation: 32x9=288
