Ashley earns $8.50 per hour at her job, but if she works more than 35 hours in a week she is paid 1½ times her regular wage for the overtime hours worked. a. find a linear equation that relates her weekly pay y and the number of hours x she worked during the week if she worked no more than 35 hours.

Let

x-------> the number of hours Ashley worked during the week

y------> Ashley's weekly pay

we know that

Ashley earns $8.50 per hour at her job and if she works more than 35 hours in a week she is paid 1½ times her regular wage for the overtime hours worked

so

case a) if she worked no more than 35 hours

In this case the equation is equal to

case b) if she worked more than 35 hours

in this case

the equation is equal to

therefore

the answer part a) is

the 4th choice is the correct one

step-by-step explanation:

walter needs to make at least 5 more cookies but no more than 40. 5 ≥ x ≥ 40;

step-by-step explanation:

walter has to make a minimum of 20 cookies. he already has 15 cookies made, so he must make 5 more to meet the minimum.

the maximum amount of cookies he can make is 55. he already has 15, so he has to make no more than 40 more cookies to meet the maximum.
