Answer 1

Answer:the equation relating E to H is

E = 20H

Explanation:

Let E represent her earnings (in dollars) after tutoring for H hours.

For each hour that she tutors, she earns 20 dollars. This means that in H hours, her total earnings would be

E = 20H

To find Mai's earnings after tutoring for 17 hours, we would substitute H = 17 into the equation. It becomes

E = 20 × 17

E = $340
