Gloria earned $648 from mowing lawns

Explanation:

Answer 2

Let x represent the amount of money Gloria earned mowing lawns.

We have been given that Gloria earned a total of $810 over the summer. She earned $162 babysitting and the rest from mowing lawns.

The total amount earned by Gloria would be amount earned from baby sitting and lawn mowing that is
`x+162`.

Now we will equate total earnings of Gloria by 810 as:

`x+162=810`

`x+162-162=810-162`

`x=648`

Therefore, Gloria earned $648 from mowing lawns.
