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

Total $= $1400
x= mowing $
x+$360= pizza $
MOWING EARNINGS:
x + (x+360)= $1400
2x + 360= 1400
subtract 360 from both sides
2x= 1040
divide both sides
x= $520 mowing earnings
PIZZA EARNINGS:
substitute the x value in pizza expression
= x+$360
= 520+360
= $880 pizza earnings
CHECK:
x + (x+360)= $1400
$520 + ($520+$360)= $1400
$520 + $880= $1400
$1400= $1400
ANSWER:
He earned $520 mowing and he earned $880 at the pizza place.
