Ineed i dont get word problems how do you put this in an equation. (gavin makes $8.50 for each lawn he mows)

Well, we could make the number of lawns he mowed as 'L'

In this case, the total money that Gavin makes is 8.5L

I think you want a relationship between the number of lawns mowed and the income from doing it.

I = income

L = lawns

I = 8.50 * L If the question tells you how many lawns he mowed, just put that in for L

L = 8 means he mowed 8 lawns. This is just a made up number.

I = 8.50 * 8

I = 68 dollars from mowing 8 lawns.

the solution is the point

step-by-step explanation:

we have

> equation a

> equation b

adds equation a and equation b

substitute the value of x in equation b to find the value of y

the solution is the point
