D. 35−7.5x=125;x=6

Answer 1

Jack needs to save $125 but he has saved $35.
He makes $7.50 an hour at his job.
With x representing the number of hours

so equation

7.5x + 35 = 125
7.5x = 90
     x = 12

answer
C. C. 7.5x + 35 = 125; x = 12 

Answer 2

the answer is C because $125 is the total needed minus the $35 he already has saved brings it down to $90 he still needs, divided by $7.50 an hour equals 12 hours he would need to work.
