Question

You babysit 15

hours each week for $6.00
per hour. You also earn $25.00
each week for completing chores around the house.

Use the drop-down menus to complete the equation to show a way to calculate your total weekly income, w
.

Answer 1

6(15) + 25x = w

Explanation:

6h would be the babysitting money, and since we know the hours, h, we replace the variable with the constant, 15, to get 6 * 15, or 6(15).

25x represents that each week, x, you earn $25.

Put this all together to get the answer above.
