Equation for Liz:

L = 8n

Equation for Andy:

A = 8n + 35

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the no. of necklace be 'n'

Cost per necklace = $8

Equation for Liz:

L = 8n

Because Liz sells only necklace for $8 each

Equation for Andy:

A = 8n + 35

Because Andy sells each necklace for $8 and she sold the bracelets for $35
