Question

A students pays of 18 an hour is 4 more than twice the amount of the student earns per hour at an internship enter an solve an equation to find the hourly pay of the intership

Answer 1

Answer: $7

Explanation:

According to the question , we have

$18=4+2 (amount of the student earns per hour at an internship)

Let x be the amount of the student earns per hour at an internship, then the equations will be

18 = 4+2x

Subtract 4 from both sides , we get

14 = 2x

Divide both sides by 2, we get

7 = x

Hence, the hourly pay of the intership was $7 .

Answer 2

the hourly pay fro the internship is $7/hr

Explanation:

The statement can be written mathematically as below

`18 = 4 + 2x`

the hourly rate of the internship is
`x`

solving the equation, we have

`18 = 4 + 2x`

subtract 4 from both sides of the equation

`18 - 4 = 4 +2x -4`

`14 = 2x`

`x = 14/2`

`x = 7`

the hourly pay fro the internship is $7/hr
