Question

Zee is a babysitter. She gets paid $25 just to show up on time. Then each hour, she

makes $8 babysitting. How many hours does she have to work to make a total of
$233?

Explain your answer to the previous question. How did you solve it? What was your procedure?

Answer 1

233=8x+25
I know 25 is the y intercept because it is the starting amount and she makes 8 dollars per hour. She would need to work 26 hours, I subtracted the staring amount from 233 and then divided by 8
