You receive X dollars an hour for babysitting. You babysit three hours on Friday and five hours on Saturday. You received $40 for the two days write and solve an equation to find how much you earn per hour

Equation: 3x + 5x = 40

Earned Per Hour: x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Since it's an equation, there has to be an equal sign. The total is 40 and the variable is x. You babysit on Friday and Saturday. On Friday, 3 hrs, and on Saturday, 5 hrs. Your paycheck is x. So far the equation is:

3x + 5x = 40

This is saying that for 3 hours on Friday, you got x money per hour plus the 5 hours on Saturday. Which equals 40 dollars total. Now that we know the equation, we can solve.

First we have to combine like terms. So that's 3x plus 5x which is 8x:

8x = 40

To find x, you divide 40 by 8 to get 5.

x = 5

the answer is; biodiversity resulting from few ancestors

adaptive radiation occurs when a population is subjected to a large natural environment with spatial ecological variations. the parts of the population in the different ecologies begin to adapt to their local environments. due to non-random mating across the large populations, this causes the different populations from the large population to speciate within their local environments. they, therefore, diverge to different species sharing a common ancestor.
