You can turn this into an equation:
F = 26 + 31t
Where F is the money Ralph earned, and t is the number of hours he worked.
Plugging in the 119 for F, we get
119 = 26 + 31t
93 = 31t
3 = t
Plug 8 for y
8 = 2x + 4
Subtract 4
4 = 2x
Divide by 2
x = 2
Plug 16 for y
16 = 2x + 4
Subtract by 4
12 = 2x
Divide by 2
x = 6
Substitute 20 for y
20 = 2x + 4
16 = 2x
x = 8
Substitute 22 for y
22 = 2x + 4
18 = 2x
9 = x
So the values are 2, 6, 8, 9
So, let's say the soft drink equals y and the sandwich equals x.
x + y = 9.9
The sandwich costs 3.5 times as much as the soft drink
x = 3.5y
Therefore, we can replace x with 3.5y since they're the same thing
3.5y + y = 9.9 <-- That's the equation :)
Answer: It would be y=2x.
