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. If he earned $360 more at the pizza place than mowing lawns how much did he earn at each job?

Answer 1

mowing lawns he earned 520 and at the pizza place he earned 880 
hope this helps!

Answer 2

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.

Hope this helps! :)
