Complete question :

Anastasia uses the equation p=0.7(rh+b) to estimate the amount of take home pay,p for h hours worked at the rate of r dollars per hour and any bonus received b. What is an equivalent equation solved for h?

Answer:

h = (p/0.7- b)÷ r

Explanation:

Given the equation:

p=0.7(rh+b)

Where ; p = take home pay ; h = hours worked r = dollar rate per hour ; b = bonus received

To obtain an equivalent solution solved for h, we make h the subject of the formula :

p=0.7(rh+b)

Divide both sides by 0.7

p/0.7 = (rh + b)

rh = p/0.7 - b

Divide both sides by r

rh/r = (p/0.7 - b) /r

h = (p/0.7 - b) /r
