Question

Abbey gets paid a flat rate of $10.00 to mow her neighbor's lawn plus an additional $5 per hour to rake the leaves.

The money she earns is represented by the equation m = 5 h + 10 , where m represents the amount of money she earns, in dollars, and h is the number of hours she rakes leaves for.

Which of the following equations can be used to find h, the number of hours she rakes leaves for?

Answer 1

Answer:

Since you didn't provide any choices, a possible equations would be h = (m - 10) / 5

Step-by-step Solution:

Since we know that the flat-rate 10 doesn't have anything to do with the hourly rate, we first subtract that. Then, we divide that number by 5 to get rid of it, so we're only left with h.

This process of removing things from the equation by reversing their methods can be applied all over math and is a strategy vary commonly used.
