Answer:

Hudson earned $520 in moving lawns and $880 by working in Pizza place.

Explanation:

Given:

Total Money Earned = $1400

Let Money earned in moving lawns be 'x'

Also Given:

he earned $360 more at the pizza place than mowing lawns

Money Earned working at pizza place =
x+360

we need to find money earned in each job.

Now Total money earned is equal to sum of Money earned moving lawns and money earned working at pizza place.

Framing the equation we get;


x+x+360=1400

Solving the equation we get;


2x+360 =1400\\\\2x = 1400-360\\\\2x =1040\\\\x=(1040)/(2)=\$520

Money Earned working at pizza place =
x+360 = 520 +360 = \$880

Hence Hudson earned $520 in moving lawns and $880 by working in Pizza place.
