Question

PLEASE HELP ME!

Tina and Tammy both get paid an equal hourly wage of $12 per hour. This week, Tina made an additional $46 in overtime. Select the expressions below that represent the weekly wages of both if x the number of hours
Tina worked this week and y= the number of hours Tammy worked this week

Answer 1

Expressions B, D and E

Explanation:

Here, we are to select which of the options is correct.

Let’s put in mind that they bought earn $12 per hour

x represents the number of hours Tina worked this week; the total amount of money she made would thus be x * 12 = $12x

Remembering that she made $46 overtime, the total amount of money she made that we would be $12x + 46

The total amount Tammy made, earning $12 per hour and working for y hours = $12 * y = $12y

The total amount of money both made is thus;

12x + 46 + 12y

= $(12x + 12y + 46)

Now, we have similar expressions in the question;

These are; expression B, expression D and expression E

While expression B is straightforward, the others are not

expression D is gotten by factoring out 12; 12x + 12y + 46 = 12(x + y) + 46

expression E just involved putting what each of the two earned in brackets
