Jerrell made $24 babysitting his cousins Saturday night. This is $7 more than he made babysitting Friday night. How much money did Jerrell make babysitting on Friday night? Write and solve an equation to find the answer.(1 point)
Let's say Jerrell made x dollars babysitting on Friday night.
Since he made $7 more on Saturday, he made x+7 dollars babysitting.
The total amount made by Jerrell on Saturday is x+7 = $24.
To find x, we'll subtract 7 from both sides of the equation x+7=24, to get x=17. Answer: \boxed{17}.
