Question

Can someone please help me

Answer 1

The equation would be:

18 = 2x + 7

The internship pays $5.5 an hour

Explanation:

18 - 7 = 2x

(Since we moved the 7 to the other side, in order to combine like terms)

11 = 2x

(Divide both sides by 2)

5.5 = x

(x = 5.5)

x would be the pay the internship pays an hour.

(Sorry if this is wrong, notify me if it is, and I'll delete this post Xc)

Answer 2

18=2x+7, The internship pays $5.50 an hour.

Explanation:

The box on the far left is the amount the student is paid at their job, which is $18 an hour in this case. Solve 18-7 to get 11, then divide 11 by 2 to get the pay for the internship. To check your work, plug 5.50 into the equation.

18=2(5.50)+7

18=11+7

18=18
