Last week Jacob had 30 dollars. He washed cars over the weekend to earn more money and now he has 62 dollars. How much money did he make washing cars?

Question

Choose the correct equation.
30 - x = 62 and x=62+ 30 so x= 92 dollars.
30 +x = 62 and x=62-30 so x= 32 dollars.
30- 62=x so x=32 dollars

Answer 1

The correct equation is 30 + x = 62 and x = 62 - 30, so x = 32 dollars. Jacob made 32 dollars washing cars.
