Mike made $ 200.63 last Friday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Ms. Peralta's friend Mike is a construction worker who gets paid $ 15 an hour, and after working 9 hours he gets paid 1.25 times his hourly rate, and last Friday Mike worked for 5 hours - took an 1 hr and 15 minute break for lunch (does not count toward his work hours) - and worked for an additional 7.5 hours, to determine how much money did Mike make last Friday the following calculation must be performed:

5 + 7.5 = 12.5

12.5 - 9 = 3.5

9 x 15 + (3.5 x (15 x 1.25)) = X

135 + 3.5 x 18.75 = X

135 + 65.625 = X

200.63 = X

Therefore, Mike made $ 200.63 last Friday.

Elise's number is equal to 24.

-6(x - 19) = -30

Distributive property.

-6x + 114 = -30

Add 6x to both sides

114 = -30 + 6x

Add 30 to both sides

144 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6

x = 24
