Soren has two jobs. during the day , he works as an office clerk, and in the evening he works as a cashier. his office job pays him$11 per hour, and his cashier job pays him $8.75 per hour . in one week soren worked 46 hours, and earned a total of $470.. how many hours did he work in each job.

Office clerk - 30 hours

Cashier - 16 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that Soren's office job pays him $11 per hour while his cashier job pays him $8.75 per hour.

If he has worked for a total of 46 hours and earned $470, we have to find the number of hours he worked in each job.

Assuming x represent the number of hours that Soren works as an office clerk, we can write the following equation:

11x + 8.75(46 - x) = 470

11x + 402.5 - 8.75x = 470

11x - 8.75x = 470 - 402.5

2.25x = 67.5

x = 67.5/2.25

x = 30

Number of hours Soren worked as office clerk = 30 hours

Number of hours Soren worked as a cashier = 46 - 30 = 16 hours

to plot points   for x just start at the origin (middle) and go to the left however many times it say(if the number is a positive) if the number is a negative then go right however many times it says if it is 0 go nowhere

now keep you pencil there and go up however many times it says on y(if it is positive) if it is negative then go down however many times it says. if it says 0 go nowhere.

you have just plotted a point! now when you finish plotting all of them connect them with a ruler

plot each point as (-3, 7), (0,4), (3,1), (8,-4)   in the parenthesis on the left of the comma is x and the right is y.
