Set up an equation to solve.
$8.50x (since it is the rate of change) + $12 (flat fee) = total money earned (or y). In this case, we have the total, amount, and are looking for x. Plug $139.50 into the equation.
$8.50x + $12 = $139.50
Now, solve for x.
$8.50x + $12-12 = $139.50-12 > <em>$8.50x = $127.5</em>
$8.50/8.50x = $127.5/8.50 > <em>x = 15</em>
So, the correct answer is <u>D. Olivia babysat for 15 hours.</u>
Answer: x = $7, y = $6
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the cost of an adult ticket
Let y be the cost of a children's ticket
Translate these sentences to algebra:
At the circus, three adult tickets and five child tickets cost $51: 3x + 5y = 51
Five adult tickets and two child tickets cost $47: 5x + 2y = 47
Now we have two equations. Let's use substitution to solve.
3x + 5y = 51
3x = 51 - 5y
.: x = 17 - 5y/3
Now substitute this value of x into the second equation to find the numerical value of y:
5(17 - 5y/3) + 2y = 47
85 - 25y/3 + 2y = 47
-19y/3 = -38
-19y = -114
.: y = 6
Now find x:
x = 17 - 5y/3
x = 17 - 10
.: x = 7
So an adult ticket costs $7, and a child ticket costs $6 :)

Answer:
x=18
Step-by-step explanation:
Vertical angles are congruent. This means that they are equal to each other. So, to solve set them equal to each other and isolate x. First, set up the equation. Then, subtract x from both sides. Finally, add 11 to both sides and simplify.
