y=20x
y equals 20 x

y=100+20x
y equals 100 plus 20 x

y=100x+20x
y equals 100 x plus 20 x

y=100x

Answer 1

To find the mathematical equation that describes Victoria's weekly earnings, we need to consider both components of her pay.

1. She receives a flat rate of $100 per week.
2. She earns $20 for each hour she works.

Let \( y \) be the total amount Victoria gets paid per week and \( x \) be the number of hours she works. The total pay can be represented by the equation:

\[ y = 100 + 20x \]

This means her total pay is the sum of the flat rate and the hourly pay.

Therefore, the correct response is:

y = 100 + 20x.
