Question

Hudson worked two jobs last summer to start saving for a car. He mowed lawns during the day and worked at a pizza place in the evenings. In one month, Hudson earned a total of $1,400. He earned $360 more at the pizza place than mowing lawns, how much did he earn mowing lawns? How much did he earn working at the pizza place?

Answer 1

Answer:

520$ for mowing lawns and 880$ for working at the pizza place.

Step-by-step explanation:

You should just write this problem in math language.

let the earning of mowing lawns be "x"

and let the earning of working at the pizza place be "x+360"

Now write the equation

x+(x+360)=1400

2x+360=1400 , now -360 both sides.

2x=1040, now divide both sides by 2.

x=520

Remember that we let the earning of the mowing lawns be "x".
