Question

a babysitter charges 9 dollars each hour she works plus a travel allowance of 5 dollars for each job. write an equation that relates the number of hours. the babysitter worked at a job for which she charged 77 dollars. how many hours did she work?​

Answer 1

y=9x +5 , 8 hours

Explanation:

9 dollars per hour = 9x

travel allowance = 5

y = 9x + 5

77 = 9x + 5

77 = 9x +5

-5 -5

-----------------

72= 9x

72/9 = x

x= 8
