A linear equation in two variables can be defined as an equation that can be rearranged in the form  [tex]\rm y = mx + b[/tex] where [tex]\rm x[/tex] and [tex]\rm y[/tex] are variables and [tex]m \neq 0[/tex].

For the given question, the equation will be:

[tex]\rm y = 20x + 30[/tex]

Solution:

Given:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm Amount\:at \:the\:beginning &= $30\\\rm Average\:earning\:per\:hour &= $20\rm\: per \:hour\\\end[/tex]

Let the amount of money be y and the hours be x.

Equation representing money earned in x hours will be:

[tex]\rm y = 20x + 30[/tex]

Amount of money at the end of x hours will be the sum of amount available in the beginning and average earning in x hours.
