Write the answer as an equation with y first, followed by an equals sign.

Answer 1

Y=10x

Explanation:

Since each hoiur she earns 10 it’s is

y=10x

because y is the total so its bigger

so x is the hour so you multiply the hour by 10 to get the total

Answer 2

y = 10x

Explanation:

y = amount earned

x = time ( hours )

so lets say she earns $40

40 = 10x

divide by 10 you get

x = 4

she worked for 4 hours

You can use this equation for any amount of time.
