Answer:

85x + 125 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the amount of hours worked

Let y = the total cost to pay for this plumber

85 is the hourly pay so we multiply by the amount of hours worked to find the cost per hours. We then add that to the initial cost of 125 and we get the total cost.

Jane has $5 more than three times as much money as Lonnie has.Bob has $1 less than four times as much money as Lonnie has. All t

kkurt [141]

Starting equation:
92=J+L+B

To find how much money Jane has, we use the equation:
J=5+3L
To find how much money Bob has, we use the equation:
B=4L-1

Enter those equations in the problem

92=(5+3L)+L+(4L-1)
Combine like terms
92=4+8L
Subtract 4 to isolate variable
88=8L
Divide by 8 to isolate variable
11=L

Answer:
Lonnie has $11
Jane has $38
Bob has $43

side note: Lonnie is that one poor friend we all have
