The correct equation that solves for the sides of the square is D: s = P/4.
Regina, Phil and Joseph each wrote expressions to represent their hourly earnings for an after-school job where h represents the number of hours worked.
Regina: 6.50h + 16
Phil: 3(2.5h+5)
Joseph: 7.50h + 10
How many hours will phil and joseph have to work in order to make the same amount of money in one week?
Regina: 6.50h + 16
Phil: 3(2.5h+5)
Joseph: 7.50h + 10
How many hours will phil and joseph have to work in order to make the same amount of money in one week?

To find the number of hours that Phil and Joseph will have to work in order to make the same amount of money in one week, we need to set their earnings expressions equal to each other.
Phil's earnings: 3(2.5h + 5) = 7.5h + 15
Joseph's earnings: 7.5h + 10
Setting the two expressions equal to each other:
3(2.5h + 5) = 7.5h + 10
Expanding the left side:
7.5h + 15 = 7.5h + 10
Subtracting 7.5h from both sides:
15 = 10
This is not possible since 15 is not equal to 10. Therefore, there is no number of hours that Phil and Joseph can work to make the same amount of money in one week.
Phil's earnings: 3(2.5h + 5) = 7.5h + 15
Joseph's earnings: 7.5h + 10
Setting the two expressions equal to each other:
3(2.5h + 5) = 7.5h + 10
Expanding the left side:
7.5h + 15 = 7.5h + 10
Subtracting 7.5h from both sides:
15 = 10
This is not possible since 15 is not equal to 10. Therefore, there is no number of hours that Phil and Joseph can work to make the same amount of money in one week.
