Maia Glover · Answer 1

F (t) = 10 + 5t

Step-by-step explanation:

Income equals the initial fee plus the hours worked times the hourly rate

We know the initial fee = 10

hours = t

hourly rate = r

F (t) = 10 + r*t

We know a 5 hour job is 35 dollars

35 = 10 + r*5

Subtract 10 from each side

35-10 = 10-10 + 5r

25 = 5r

Divide by 5

25/5 = 5r/5

5 = r

The hourly rate is 5

F (t) = 10 + 5t
