Answer: 10x

Explanation:

Given:- Chris earns $10.00 each time he washes his neighbor’s car.

If the expression 10x represents Chris' earnings.

Then x must represent the number of time he did the car wash in all.

So that,

The combined earning= Earnings per carwash X Number of times he did car washes. =(10)(x) =10x

Hence, the variable x represents the number of times be did the car wash.
