Answer 1

Joey sold 6 cars

Explanation:

Joey earns $350 per week + $200 per car he sells

The number of cars that he sold last week is unknown, so represent it with a variable, x.

Write an equation

$350 + $200x = $1,550

Subtract $350 from both sides of this equation

$200x = $1200

Divide both sides of the equation by 200

x = 6

Joey sold 6 cars

Hope this helps :)
