Part a) Sam got a new job with a $7.00 per hour raise. He worked for 5 hours and got paid $85.00. How much did he make before the raise?
Let
x--------> amount that Sam earned before the raise
we know that
[tex] (x+7) *5 =85 [/tex]
Solve for x
[tex] 5x+35 =85 [/tex]
[tex] 5x =85-35 [/tex]
[tex] 5x =50 [/tex]
[tex] x=10\ dollars\ per\ hour [/tex]
therefore
the answer Part a) is the option
A. $10.00 per hour
Part b) Julia knows 19 Latin words. Each day, she learns 6 new words. How many days until she knows 145?
Let
x-------> the number of days
y-------> the total words Julia Knows
we know that
[tex] y=19+6x [/tex] ------> equation [tex] 1 [/tex]
For y=[tex] 145 [/tex]
Find the value of x
Substitute in the equation [tex] 1 [/tex] the value of y
[tex] 145=19+6x [/tex]
[tex] 6x=145-19 [/tex]
[tex] 6x=126 [/tex]
[tex] x=21\ days [/tex]
therefore
the answer Part b) is the option
B. 21
Part c) Claire has a part-time job walking dogs Monday through Friday. Business has really increased. She is walking 3 more dogs per day than she did last week. If she walked a total of 35 dogs this week, how many dogs did she walk per day last week?

x--------> the number of dogs that Claire walked last week per day
we know that
[tex] x=\frac{35}{5} -3\\\\ x=7-3\\\\x=4\ dogs\ per\ day [/tex]
therefore
the answer Part c) is the option

Let
x--------> the number of months
y-------> amount in the bank account in dollars
we know that
[tex] y=45x+200 [/tex]
Find the value of x for y=[tex] 560 [/tex]
[tex] 560=45x+200 [/tex]
[tex] 45x=560-200 [/tex]
[tex] 45x=360 [/tex]
[tex] x=8\ days [/tex]
therefore
the answer part d) is the option
