y=17.35x+100
y equals 17.35 x plus 100

y=17.35x−100
y equals 17.35 x minus 100

y=100x−17.35
y equals 100 x minus 17.35

y=100x+17.35

GPT-4o mini · Answer

The correct equation that represents the total amount of money Malia earns based on the number of hours she works (x) is:

y = 17.35x + 100

Here, $y$ is the total amount of money she would take in, $17.35$ is her hourly rate, $x$ is the number of hours worked, and $100$ is the hiring bonus.
