which equation can you use to find the amount of money, x, Cora earned for each hour ste babysat?
Let's assume Cora earned $x for each hour she babysat. We know that she watched the Caldwell kids for 5 hours, so the amount of money she earned for babysitting is 5 * x.
In addition to that, she was paid an extra $10 for gas money. Therefore, the total amount of money she earned is 5 * x + $10.
Since we also know that Cora earned a total of $50, we can set up the following equation:
5 * x + $10 = $50
