Question

bria starts with $8 in her account. she earns $12 per hour babysitting and deposits the earnings into her account. we now have the initial amount in brias account, $8, in the equation. now, we need to add what she earns for the hours that she babysits. you could think of this as the amount she earns per hour, $12, thats the slope, times the number of hours she works, which we can represent with the variable x. how could you show this using an expression? vertical intercept: 8 slope: 12 dollars in brias account = initial amount + earnings from babysitting d = 8 +

Explanation:

Step1: Define earnings variable

Earnings = hourly rate × hours, so $\text{earnings} = 12x$

Step2: Form total account equation

Combine initial amount and earnings: $d = 8 + 12x$

Answer:

$12x$ (the completed equation is $d = 8 + 12x$)
