Answer:
h = 13.333 +693.333/r
Step-by-step explanation:
For h hours, Brandee's pay will be ...
pay = 40r +(h -40)(1.5r) . . . . 40 hours at rate r + overtime (h-40) hours at 1.5r
pay = 40r +1.5hr -60r . . . . . eliminate parentheses
pay = 1.5hr -20r . . . . . . . . . . collect terms
Solving for h, we have ...
pay +20r = 1.5hr . . . . . . . . . . add 20r
h = (pay +20r)/(1.5r) . . . . . . . . divide by 1.5r
For the given pay of 800 +240 = 1040, we have ...
h = (1040 +20r)/(1.5r)
h = 13.333 +693.333/r . . . . . simplify to 2 terms

<em>Additional comments</em>
You need to know r to find the number of hours Brandee worked. She got paid $800 for a presumed 40-hours of regular time, so made r = $20 per hour. The above formula will tell you she worked 48 hours in the pay period.
The answer is B. That is not a valid way to sample as it is not randomly selected.

Answer:
the first three are the answer
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number.
"increased by" tells you we are adding.
"twice a number" tells you 2 times a number.
16 + 2x = - 24
Subtract 16 from both sides so that we have the variable on one sides and the constants on the other.
2x = - 24 - 16
2x = - 40
Divide by 2 to isolate the variable.
x = - 40/2 = - 20
Your solution is - 20.
To check your answer, plug in.
16 + 2(-20) = - 24
16 - 40 = - 24
- 24 = - 24
