Select the correct answer.
Esther works for a marketing company. She earns $12 per hour, and she gets a $50 travel allowance every month. Which linear equation could be used to find her monthly pay rate?
A. y = 50x + 12
B. y = 12x + 50
C. y = 12x
D. y = 50x

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
y = 12x + 50 looks good.
x is the number of hours she works.
she gets 12 dollars times the number of hours she works each month.
on top of that she gets 50 dollars travel allowance each month.
the combined total is what she makes each month.
