Question
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 assume Jerrell made x dollars babysitting on Friday night.
According to the problem, he made $7 more babysitting on Saturday night, which means he made x + $7 on Saturday night.
We know that he made $24 on Saturday night.
Therefore, we can write the equation:
x + $7 = $24
To solve for x, we can subtract $7 from both sides of the equation:
x + $7 - $7 = $24 - $7
x = $17
So, Jerrell made $17 babysitting on Friday night.
