Question

A student pay of $23 an hour at a new job is $6 more than twice the amount of the student earn per hour at an internship. Write and solve an equation to find the hourly pay of the internship.

Answer 1

Thank you for asking this question:

Let the student is paid $x for an hour in the internship.  

Then,  

23 = 6+2x

2x = 23-6 = 17

x = 8.5

So the hourly pay of the internship would be $8.5
