In one month, Jason eams $32.50 less than twice the amount Keyin earns, Jason earns $212.50write and solve an equation to solve for the amount of money that kevin earns

Respuesta :

Let the amount Kevin earns be represented with K

Let the amount Jason earns be represented with J

Jason earns $32.50 less than twice Keyin earns can be represented by

J = K - 32.5 ----- equation 1

Jason earns $ 212.5

J = 212.5 ----- equation 2

From equation 1, we can write the equation to solve for what Kevin earns

J = K - 32.5

Making K the subject of the formula

K = J + 32.5

Putting J = 212.5 into the equation above

K= $ 212.5 + $ 32.5

K = $ 245

Kevin earns $245
