Carey earns c hourly
Anderson earns $6 hourly which is also 1+ c/2
So, 6=1+c/2
12=2+c
c=$10
<span>Carey earns $10 hourly</span>
-3x - y = -17
4x + 2y = 20
multiply one part of the equation so that we can be able to use the process of elimination.
(-3x - y = -17)2
4x + 2y = 20
Now we have:
-6x -2y = - 34
4x+2y= 20
------------------------
-2x = -14
Divide -2 on both sides.
-2x = -14
/-2 /-2
x = -7.
=============================================
To solve for y, we just have to substitute the value of x to any of the equation given above, that we feel comfortable with. And I'm going to choose this equation: 4x + 2y = 20
4x + 2y = 20
4(-7) + 2y = 20
-28 + 2y = 20
Add 28 on both sides
-28 + 2y = 20
+28 +28
---------------------
2y = 48
/2 /2
y = 24.
The last thing you would do is to check if the answers is correct.
All you have to do is plug in the values of x and y into both equations and see if they equal to one another.
You may have to do this by yourself :P

Answer:
d. hypothesis
Step-by-step explanation:
According to all the scientific studies that are created or developed every day, Scientists call what is described in the question a "hypothesis". This is defined as a proposed explanation for a specific phenomenon. The hypothesis is the base for creating a testable experiment that proves the relationship between two variables.
I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.
