Q:

Jackson and Maria each earned 20 dollars for doing chores around the house. They continue to do chores. Jackson earned $3 per day and Maria earned $6 per day. At the end of 5 days, how much more money will Maria have earned than Jackson.

Accepted Solution

A:
$15 because the equation would be....
Jackson: y=3x+20
Maria: y=6x+20
So if you input 5 into the x's, Maria would get 50 and Jackson would get 35. When you subtract 50-35, it equals 15!
