Question

Josh works as a tutor for 11$ an hour and a waiter for 15$ an hour. This month he worked 106 hours. What expression solves this?

Answer 1

Answer: -4t + 1590

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Josh works as a tutor for $11 an hour and as a waiter for $15 an hour.

This month, he worked a combined total of 106 hours at his two jobs.
