The equation that can be used to represent the situation given that x is the number of hours spent babysitting is 4(x + 8) = 56
How to write and solve equation
- Amount paid per hour for babysitting =$4
- Total amount made = $56
- Hours spent babysitting on Sunday = 8 hours
Total earned babysitting on Sunday = Hours spent babysitting on Sunday × Amount paid per hour
= 8 × 4
= $32
Number of hours he babysat on Saturday = $56 - (8 × 4) ÷ 4
= 56 - 32 ÷ 4
= 24 ÷ 4
= 6 hours
A. 8x+4 = 56
8x = 56 - 4
8x = 52
x = 52/8
x = 6.5
B. 4x+8 = 56
4x = 56 - 8
4x = 48
x = 48/4
x = 12
C. 8(x + 4) = 56
8x + 32 = 56
8x = 56 - 32
8x = 24
x = 24/8
x = 3
D. 4(x + 8) = 56
4x + 32 = 56
4x = 56 - 32
4x = 24
x = 24/4
x = 6
