Answer 1

so basically you wanna think about what you know...she’s worked 4 hours, but she needs to get over 9 hours in order to get overtime.

we’re using x as the variable representing hours worked (other than the 4 hours already)

knowing this, we can set it up so that we have

4 + x > 9

and the. solve
4 + x -4 > 9 -4

x > 5

so this basically means that she needs to work over 5 more hours in order to earn overtime this shift

hope this helps :)
