Question

Jim and Becky wash cars. Jim charges 10$ plus 3$ per car. Becky charges 12$ plus 2$ per car. Write an equation to show when the charges for washing cars are equal

Answer 1

10 + 3x = y is jims equation. 12 + 2x = y is beckys equation

Explanation:

To find Jim and Becky's possible outcomes, you must make charts with x as the input value and y as the output value, such as the one below (NOT THE REAL CHART!!!!) . The way to do this is change the value of x on the equation with a number (usually in numerical order starting with 1 or 0) , and then solve that to find y.

You have to compare both charts to see where they make the same amount of money, and you can see that Jim and Becky make the same amount of money on some occasions. Please double check. I hope this helped! :]
