Write and solve an equation:
Total earnings = $782.75 = s(40 hrs) + 1.5*s*(7 hrs)
Then 782.75 = 40s + 10.5s = 50.5s
Dividing both sides by 50.5: s = 15.5. The attendant's regular hourly wage was $15.50.
A three by three dot grid box would make a box with a height and length of two boxes, so the area of this would be 4.
To solve for x means to put x on one side, and everything else on the other side.
Let's do that:


And now we have to divide with -a.
Be careful: When dividing with anything that's negative, you have to reverse the inequality.
Final solution:
A. 37
Because as you see 3 and 1 are the same!
