Question

Francisco makes $14 per hour doing part-time work on Saturdays. He spends $3 on

transportation to and from work. The equation y = 14x - 3 gives his earnings y, after
transportation costs, for working x hours. Complete the table of values for this situation.
x (number of hours)
2
3
4
5
y (earnings in dollars)

Answer 1

x = 2, y = 23

x = 3, y = 39

x = 4, y = 56

x = 5, y = 67

Explanation:

Given:

14x - 3 where $14 is per hours on part-time work and $3 is cost to and from work.

y = 14(2) - 3

y = 28 - 3

y = 23

y = 14(3) - 3

y = 42 - 3

y = 39

y = 14(4) - 3

y = 56 - 3

y = 53

y = 14(5) - 3

y = 70 - 3

y = 67

x = 2, y = 23

x = 3, y = 39

x = 4, y = 56

x = 5, y = 67
