Question

During the summer, you charge people $8 per hour for babysitting and a $10 fee for traveling to their home. If you made $130 last weekend, how many hours did you spend babysitting?​

Answer 1

15

Explanation:

lets make an equation and solve it (its easier)

130=8x+10

130-10=8x

120=8x

x=120/8=15 hours

Answer 2

let x = number of hours babysitting
let y = total $ made

y = 8x + 10
130 = 8x + 10
120 = 8x
x = 15

Therefore she babysat for 15 hours.
