Question

Josiah has a job washing cars. He earns $35 for each car he washes. On Monday, he washed 7 cars. On Tuesday, he forgot to count how many cars he washed. He earned $560 for the two days. Josiah wants to find how many cars he washed on Tuesday.
Write the equation that Josiah can use for the situation above. (Use the variable x)
How many cars did Josiah wash on Tuesday?
( I know that the answer would be X=9 but how do I write the equation.)

Answer 1

Answer:

245 + 35x = 560

Step-by-step explanation:

35 x 7 = 245 (for monday)
Then the equation should be

245 + 35x = 560

It looks like you solved it too, your answer is correct btw! Lmk if you need help with the steps, or anything

Also, how you make this equation is this, you put how much he earned for monday, and then add it to 35x (x being the amount of cars he did) make sure to do = 560 at the end so you can solve it :)

Can I have brainliest? It would help me out, if not thanks anyways! Hope this helped and have a nice day!

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he gets  35$ for every car he washes and washed seven cars on Monday, he got 35*7=245. Now, you can minus the amount from it to 315. 315/35 is 9, so nine is your answer.

To phrase it into an equation, you can do when x=amount of cars washed, 35x=560-7*35.

Hope this helped!
