what the monkey is a "two step" equation?

anonymous · Answer

before the bonus she made $917-50$ dollars
divide that amount by 7 to see how many hours she worked (hope she gets a real job soon)

anonymous · Answer

So could it be 7x+50=917?

triciaal · Answer

If before taxes she earned $917 on her monthly paycheck,
917 - 50 = amount from the hours worked 

$7/hr * no of hours = $ earned without the bonus (917- 50 )

anonymous · Answer

Wait... so what's the equation?

triciaal · Answer

how many hours did she work this month?
let no of hours = x then 7 x = (917-50)
solve for x
