Question

Greg earned $32 dollars for washing cars this month. He earned twice as much for washing cars than he did for mowing lawns. Write an equation to determine how much he earned for mowing lawns.

2m = 32
m + 2 = 32
m − 2 = 32
m over 2 equals 32

Answer 1

Determine which equation is false, based on the solution set S:{4}.

3t = 12

3m + 7 = 14

4(4c + 1) = 68

9 = 5p − 11

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: the correct answer is 2m = 32

Explanation: If Greg earned $32 for washing cars and that was twice as much for mowing lawns, then you will need to divide that amount by 2 to find out what was made.

2m = 32

Divide each side by 2:

2m/2 = 32/2

m = 16

The amount for mowing lawns = $16
