Part 1: You work 4 hours and earn $36. What is your earning rate (dollars per hour)?

9

Step-by-step explanation:

4 hours : $36

1 hour : $ x

we need to find x so,

4 hours ÷ 4 = 1 hour

1 : $

since we have divided 4 by 4,

we need to do that to 36 aswell

36  ÷ 4 = 9

1 hour : $9

b. astronomers

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2

=

10

2

x=5
