Question

Jack gets an allowance of $5 per week plus $2 for each chore he completes around the house. How much allowance will he earn if he does x chores in a week

Answer 1

2x+5= Total Allowance

Explanation:

For every chore he gets $2 so if x represents the number of chores, 2 times x would equal the amount of money he would earn just by doing chores.

In addition to that, Jack also earns a base amount of $5 no matter how many chores he does. So add 5 to 2x, resulting in 2x+5
