Sarah's expression is correct because for every hour you get 9 dollars so 9(1) is 9 dollars for one hour. Then for two Hours it would be 9(2) which equals 18.
Answer:
<h3>

</h3>
Step-by-step explanation:
y= x²+6x-5
completing the square: <em> a²+2ab+b²</em> <em>= (a+b)²</em> where <em>a²=x² </em>(so <em>a=x</em>) and <em>2ab=6x </em> (so <em>b</em> would be 3):

Start with an equation.
Nine less... so -9
3 times a number = 3x
Greater than 40 is >40
So put together is 3x-9>40
When solving I imaging the greater than sign as an equal sign. Less confusing.
3x-9=40
3x=49
x>49/3
