Carey earns c hourly
Anderson earns $6 hourly which is also 1+ c/2
So, 6=1+c/2
      12=2+c
c=$10
Carey earns $10 hourly

Answer:

The equation is 1/2c + 1 = 6

The answer to this equation is 10.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anderson earns $1 more, so you would put '+1' in the equation. Since it says 'half of Carey's hourly rate', you would put 1/2c in the equation. $6 is the total, so that would go on the other side of the equation, thus creating the final equation 1/2c + 1 =6.
