A student's pay of $18 an hour is $4 more than twice the amount the student earns per hour at an internship. Enter and solve an equation to find the hourly pay of the internship.

Respuesta :

1. You have that a student's pay of $18 an hour is $4 more than twice the amount the student earns per hour at an internship.

 2. So, let's call the 
hourly pay of the internship: "x". Then, you have:

 18=2x+4

 3. When you clear the variable "x", you obtain:

 18-4=2x
 14=2x
 x=14/2
 x=$7

 Therefore, the answer is: T
he hourly pay of the internship is $7.
