Question

I started a babysitting job. I have been watching my neighbors kids. I got paid $20 for watching them for 3 hours yesterday. Write a linear equation with the number of hours as x and the amount paid as y to model this situation

Answer 1

The equation is y=6.66666667x. This is because you get paid $6.66666667 per hour so you multiply that by the number of hours to get the total paid!
