x +
=
$8.00 + $1.50x = $12.50
nope
I apologize for the incorrect equation. Let's try again:
Let x represent the number of children Anthony watches.
His hourly rate is $8.00 + $1.50x per child.
The total hourly rate is $12.50.
Therefore, the equation representing this problem is:
$8.00 + $1.50x = $12.50
Susan read 17 pages today. That is 8 pages fewer than 13 of the pages she read yesterday. How many pages did she read yesterday?(1 point)
pages
Let the number of pages Susan read yesterday be represented by x.
According to the problem, Susan read 8 pages fewer than 13 times the number of pages she read yesterday.
Therefore, the equation representing this problem is:
13x - 8 = 17
Susan read 17 pages today. That is 8 pages fewer than 1/3 of the pages she read yesterday. How many pages did she read yesterday?(1 point)
