A. x = 950x
B. y = 950x
C. x = 9.50x
D. y = 9.50x

Answer 1

Answer:

Option D is correct

$y = 9.50x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, y represents total earnings in dollars and  x represents hours worked.

As per the statement:

To find which equation models the wages of someone who makes $9.50 an hour.

$\text{"\ 9.50 an hour"}$ translated to 9.50x

then;

the total earning in dollars we get;

$y = 9.50x$

Therefore, an equation $y = 9.50x$ models the wages of someone who makes $9.50 an hour

Answer 2

The correct answer is D. y = 9.50x.
