t is the number of hours Lamar worked as a tutor
We know that he worked for 92 hours total, so he worked 92-t hours as a waiter.
So his earnings are: 7t + 8(92-t) = 736 -t dollars
This expression seems logical as if Lamar worked 0 hours as a tutor and 92 as a waiter his earnings would be 8*92 = 736
If he worked as a tutor for 92 hours it would be 7*92= 644
736-92= 644
So our expression seems to be working.
Step-by-step explanation:
this is the answer in the picture
Answer: 14.2 - 5a
Work: I just did "CLT" of "Combine Like Terms". I did 8 + 6.2 First because 8 is first, then I did 4a - 9a which is -5a, and I combined them, and got the answer. I hope this helps, and stay safe! :)
First you need to simplify the left side of the equation to get
Then you add by two on both sides to get
Finally you divide by 2 on both sides to get
