Each day Jack earns $10 per hour, but spends $6 for his lunch. How many hours should he work to take home $34?

Let N be Net, Let H be hours.

The equation is:

N = 10H – 6

Plot two points and draw the line: [See the link below]

2 hours, $14, that’s the point(2, 14)

5 hours, $44, that’s the point (5, 44)

Substitute 34 for N and solve for H.

34 = 10H – 6

40 = 10H

H = 4 hours
