Moche started a summer business of mowing lawns. However, before he could mow lawns, he needed to purchase supplies (a lawnmower among other needs). Moche spent $395 gathering necessary materials. He makes on average $60 per lawn, mowed. Write an equation to show Moche his earnings for l lawns mowed.

Respuesta :

gone money -$395

money per lawn $60
 
let x be lawn and f()= earnings


f(x)= 60x-396

Answer:

[tex]E= 60 l - 395[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let E be the total earnings .

Cost of mowing 1 lawn = $60

Since he mowed l lawns

So, cost of mowing l lawns =[tex]60l[/tex]

So, he earned [tex]60l[/tex]

Now we are also given that he spent $395 gathering necessary materials.

So, the total earnings for l lawns mowed = [tex]60l-395[/tex]

So, required expression : [tex]E= 60 l - 395[/tex]

Hence an equation to show Moche his earnings for l lawns mowed is :

[tex]E= 60 l - 395[/tex]
