Translate the English expression into an equivalent mathematical expression, then simplify. If a person earns $326 for working 40 hours, what is that person’s hourly wage?

Cannot assume they work the same number of hours every week.

The linear functions  for the weekly salary are:

7.25*H

15 + 7.25*h

You can now figure out the weekly salary.

For 10 hours they are 7.25 * 10 = 72.50 and 15 + 7.25*10 = 15 + 72.50 = 87.50

As stated, you cannot assume the same number of

hours are worked each week. Otherwise you do

3(7.25h) + 2(15 + 7.25h) =

21.75h + 30 + 14.50 h =

36.25h + 30

Now you plug in the h=10 and h=25 to figure out the salaries.
