Alice works 8 hours a day as a waitress in a restaurant. She earns $12.50 an hour plus money received from tips, t.

Which of the following equations represents Alice's total earnings, E, for one day of work?

• E = 8(12.50) + t

• E = 8(12.50 + t)

• E = 8t +12.50

• E = 8 + 12.50t

David creates the table of values shown above based on designs he assembles using black and white 2-D shapes.

Which of the following equations represents the linear relationship between the number of black shapes and the number of white shapes?

• 5b - 3 = w

• 4b - 1 = w

• 3b + 1 = w

• 2b + 3 = w

When the expression

(x² - 5x + 4) - (3x² + 8x - 20)

is simplified, the result is

• -2x² - 13x +24

• -2x² - 3x + 16

• 2x² + 13x - 24

• 2x² + 3x - 16
