Question

What would be the equation to you have a part time job. You work for 3h on Friday and 6h on Saturday. You also recieve an allowance of 20 per week. You earn 92 per week how much do you earn per hour at your part time job

What is the equation for this promblem?

Answer 1

Explanation:

So, to go about your question, we must first ask, how many hours a week is being worked?

In this problem, that is 9 hours per week.

Next, we must question how much per week is made

That is $92 per week

Finally, we must determine if the allowance is occuring many times in the week or just once.

In this problem, that is only occuring once for the week.

So, the equation we must setup is 9x +20 =92.

To solve the equation, we need to subtract 20 on both sides to isolate the variable, x.

9x+20=92

-20 -20

Now our equation is

9x=72

Now, to finally get x by itself or to isolate x, you should divide 9 on both sides to cancel out the 9 being multiplied by the x.

9x=72

9 9

x=8 because of 72/9 is equal to 8.

I hope this helps, and I will answer any questions you have.
