elizabeth gets $5 per hour to babysit plus $4 extra for putting the kids to bed. write a formula that could be used o fnd the amount (A) she makes after working h hours.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 5h+4=a?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

Yes, just use a capital A as the problem states.

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

A=5h+4 Yes.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4 is the constant she gets, plus x amount of hours at 5 dollars. A=4+5h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks

OpenStudy (hitaro9):

You've got it right. If she's making 5 dollars per hour then the amount of money she makes from working over time would be 5h, cause if she works 2 hours then she makes 10 bucks from wokring time, 15 bucks if working for 3, and so on. The +4 is always added.
