[Video] Q2: T = 1,000 + 18h in the equation above, t represents brittany's total take-home pay, in dollars, for her first week of work, where h represents the number of hours she worked that week and 1,000 represents a sign-on bonus. if brittany's total take-home pay was $1,576, for how many hours was brittany paid for her first week of work?

Explanation for Question 2 From the Math (No Calc) Section on the 2019 March Sat

Question two says in the equation above T represents Brittany's total 2 take home, pay in dollars for her first week of work, 3 where H represents the number of hours she worked that week. 4 And 1000 represents the sign-on bonus. 5 If Brittany's total take-home pay was 1576 for how many hours was 6 Brittany pay for her first week of work. 7 So all we have to do here is take our original equation, 8 which is given to us right here at the top, 9 and then to plug in 1576 as T. 10 So let's start by doing that. So 1,576 is equal 11 to 1000 plus 18 H 12 we can subtract 1000 for both sides. 13 And that gives us 576 14 is equal to 18. And then our last step is to 15 divide both sides, right? 18 to isolate H and that gives 16 us each is equal to 32. 17 And so our answer is C.
