Can you post a better picture it looks a little blerry
T=60+7x
x Stands for the number of hours worked.
T Stands for the total pay recieved.
1 ton = 2000 pounds
.1 ton = 200 pounds
So 3 tons = 6000 pounds and .2 tons = 400 pounds
Calculated out to 6400
First add your x values and your numbers on the left side
-17x + 6x= -11x
15 + -23= -8
New equation is:
-11x-8= 10-8x
Since you can't have 2 x values on different sides, you have two add the least x value to the other one. -11 is smaller
10 + 3X= -8
Subtract 10 on both sides.
3x= -18
Divide by 3
X= -6
