Question 1035096: When you work 2 hours you get 80$, when you work 3 hours you get 100$ and when you work 4hours you get 120$. For every hour you do you gain 20 from the one before, what would be an equation for this?

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Call y the amount of money you make and x the number of hours you work.
We can see that you earn $20 an hour, but notice that you get an additional $40 for just showing up (I like that kind of job!)...so your equation is
y = 20x + 40
