Patrick gets an allowance of $30 per week. If he babysits his brother, his parents give him an additional $5 per hour for every hour he babysits. Which equation can Patrick use to find y, the amount of money he will have after a week in which x hours of babysitting is done? y = 30 + 5x
y = 35x
y = 30x + 5
y = 30x

Y = 30 + 5x! this is because he makes $30 no matter what so we won’t be multiplying it so it will not have a variable (x) next to it. then he gets an “additional” $5 an hour for every hour he baby sits. since if it is not always a solid like the $30 because he could babysit for 2 hours or 20. it has the variable (x) next to it!
