Answer:

The algebraic expression to the model is $8.5x-15$

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provide situation.

You have a summer job at a car wash. you earn $8.50 per hour and are expected to pay a one-time fee of $15 for the uniform.

Let you work for x hours per week and you earn $8.50 per hours, so the money you will earn can be represented as:

8.50 times x or 8.50x

Now you need to pay one time fee of $15 for the uniform.

For the one time fee use a negative sign.

Thus, the required expression is:

$8.50x-15$

The algebraic expression to the model is $8.5x-15$
