Answer:

250 = 70x + 50

Explanation:

this is the equation if you are looking for the profit

Ex.

You washed 2 cars

250 = 70 (2) + 50

250 = 190

-190 -190

60

you are still $60 away from making a profit

Answer:

Try 250 = 70x + 50, or y = 70x + 50.

Explanation:

He made 250 total. The variable is how many cars he washes. The y-intercept is 50. Therefore, either 250 = 70x + 50, or y = 70x + 50.
