Shea and her best friend Kelly both babysit during the summer. Shea charges $4 per hour plus a $3 service fee, while Kelly charg
es $3.50 per hour plus a $6 service fee. After how many hours will they earn the same amount of pay? Write an equation to represent Shea's total pay. Let h = hours worked and
p = total pay
4h+3=The Pay of Shea
3.5h +6= The pay of Kelly
4h+3=3.5h+6
-3 -3
4h=3.5h+3
-3.5h
.5h=3
*2 *2
h=?
Then stick "h" into one of the original equations and solve for someones pay to get "p"
3.5(h)+6=p OR 4(h)+3 =p
The First hour- Shea made $7 and Kelly made $9.50 The Second hour- Shea made $11 and Kelly made $13 The third hour- Shea made $15 and Kelly made $16.50 The fourth hour- Shea made $19 and Kelly made $20 The fifth hour- Shea made $23 and Kelly made $23.50 And the sixth hour- Shea made $27 and Kelly made $27
What you do is based off the image point (-9, 5). What you do is you go 3 units right which is like -9+3=-6. Then you will go 2 units down which is like 5-2=3.
