During the summer, Matthew and Devan started their own business mowing lawns for people in the Lake Section. Before starting any work, Matthew spends $15 to fill up the gas tank for the lawnmower. The boys agree that each person will earn the same amount after Matthew is reimbursed the money he spent for gas. After a week of work, the boys earn a total of $243. Matthew filled up the gas tank just once.

Write an equation to represent the situation.

Respuesta :

Answer:  2x + 15 = 243

                         x = $114

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas Tank: $15

Matthew: x

Devin: x

Gas Tank + Matthew + Devin = Total

      15      +       x        +     x    =  243

                                        2x   =  228

                                          x   =   114
