Part B: Collins also does part-time yard work. The ratio of the number of hours Collins works to the money he earns in dollars is 1:7. Create a table to show the money earned by Collins for 5, 6, and 8 hours of doing yard work. (3 points)

Part C: How many more dollars does Collins earn doing yard work for 5 hours than working as a dog walker for 5 hours? Show your work. (3 points)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

For Dog walking, he earns $30 for 5 hours of work.

He earns $36 for 6 hours of work.

$30/5 hours = $6/hour

$36/6 hours = $6/hour

He earns $6/hour dog walking.

For 8 hours, he earns 8 hours * $6/hour = $48

To earn $66, he works 66/6 = 11 hours.

5 30

6 36

8 48

11 66

Part B:

He earns $7/hour for yard work, so multiply the number of hours by 7 to find the money he earns.

Table for yard work

Hours     Money

5             $35

6             $42

8             $56

Part C:

For 5 hours, he earns $35 for yard work and $30 as a dog walker.

$35 - $30 = $5

starting with:    

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7   

5 + x - 12 - x = 2x - 7 - x (subtract x from both sides)   

5 - 12 = x - 7 (combine and cancel x's from both sides)   

5 - 12 + 7 = x - 7 + 7 (add 7 to both sides)   

0 = x (add numbers together on both sides)       

so in order for the equation to be true, x must be 0.   

trying x = -0.5   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = 2(-0.5) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + -0.5 - 12 = -1 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7.5 = -8 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7.5 is obviously not equal to -8, the value of -0.5 for x is wrong.   

trying x = 0   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 2(0) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 0 - 12 = 0 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-7 = -7 (did addition on both sides)       

since -7 equals -7, that demonstrates that the value of 0 for x is correct.   

trying x = 1   

5 + x - 12 = 2x - 7 (original equation)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2(1) - 7 (plug in value of x)   

5 + 1 - 12 = 2 - 7 (did multiplication)   

-6 = -5 (did addition on both sides)       

since -6 is obviously not equal to -5, the value of 1 for x is wrong.
