Answer 1

We can comprehend that Javier and Kyle work installing windows and can earn extra money by installing doors. Last week, Javier earned $56 more than Kyle because of door installations.

The expression below represents Javier's pay for the week: 14w + 56

As it states in the question Javier earned $56 more than Kyle because of door installations. Therefore, the $56 in the equation would represent the door installation.

The 14w would represent the amount of windows that have been installed.

Answer 2

`14w` represents Kyle's pay for the week.

Explanation:

"Javier earned $56 more than Kyle because of door installations"

In other words, this means if we take out 56 from Javier's total amount of pay, we get what Kyle earned last week.

Javier's pay is
`14w+56` , so if we subtract 56 from this expression we will get what Kyle earned last week.

`14w+56-56=14w`

So, the first term of the expression 14w + 56, which is 14w, represents earnings of Kyle last week.
