Answer:

Job 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Find how much job 1 pays for 1 hour:

(150 - 30) ÷ 8 = 15

Job 1 pays $15 per hour.

Assuming variable x stands for number of hours worked, job 2 pays $17 an hour.

Put job 1 into a similarly formatted equation:

Variable y = total pay

y = 15x + 30

Compare job 1 and 2:

Job 1: 15x + 30

Job 2: 17x + 25

Just by looking at the two expressions, there is no obvious higher paying job so let's try plugging in 8 hours for x:

15(8) + 30 = 150

17(8) + 25 = 161

$161 is more than $150 so job 2 pays more.
