Can someone me with 4 & 5 : )

Hello there!

4).

125= total
77= constant (stays the same, doesn't change)
8= can change

So our equation will be 125= 77+8h

NOTE: The equal sign is actually a "greater than or equal to" symbol, which isn't a thing on phones lol.

Why? (Equation)

125 is our total. The money that Mrs. Byers pays will be exactly that or less than 125. Basically, it's her budget.

77 is a constant. It's a locked price. It doesn't change. But it's money she has to pay (not her budget). So it goes on the right side.

8h stands for 8 per hour, in this case. (Any letter/variable is fine, but h makes it easier to understand).

Why does 8 have an h? Because for every hour that passes by, Mrs. Byers has to pay 8 more dollars. So it goes on the right with the $77.

I hope this explanation helped! I don't want to solve it for you because I want you to understand WHY the equation is this way. As for solving for the answer, simply solve for h!


Problem 5 is similar to 4. :)

I know these kinds of problems are challenging, and you probably hate them. Don't give up though! With practice and determination, these kinds of problems will be a piece of cake! :) I believe in you, and that you can do this assignment! Best of luck!
