Answer 4

the equation to work out marcus's earnings is given to us y = 15x where x = number of hours worked

Answer 5

we now have to find the equation for number of hours worked by melinda
Note that melinda earns 75 dollars for 0 hours work
- and after that she earns 12 dollars for every hour
so can you work out her equation?

Answer 6

* equation for the amount earned by melinda

Answer 7

Marcus's equation was y = 15x because he earns $15 per hour
- but melinda earns $12 per hour so part of melinda's equation will be 12x
- do you follow that reasoning?

Answer 8

@mousejkl?

Answer 9

thank you

Answer 10

is that all

Answer 11

No you also have to add on the 75 dollars to get melindas equation

Answer 12

so for melinda :- y = 12x + 75

Answer 13

when they have both earned the same amout the y's are equal so we can say

15x = 12x + 75

now solve this equation for x
then you can find the answer by pluggging in this value of x into one of the equations
- plug it into y = 15x

this value of y gives the answer

Answer 14

is that all now

Answer 15

yes finding x and y above will give you the answer ( y = amount of money earned )

Answer 16

anything eles

Answer 17

no
have you calculated y?
