Answer 1

19,500 - (1,000 x 12) = X

Brianna earns $ 7,500 more than Lisa per year.

Explanation:

Given that Brianna earns $ 19,500 per year and Lisa earns $ 1,000 per month, to write a numerical expression that represents how much more Brianna earns per year than Lisa the following calculations and equations must be performed:

19,500 - (1,000 x 12) = X

19,500 - 12,000 = X

7,500 = X

Thus, Brianna earns $ 7,500 more than Lisa throughout the year.
