Question

solve.

1. jamar earned $2,500 from his summer job at the grocery store. this is $350 more than twice what his friend todd earned. how much did todd earn from his summer job?

Explanation:

Step1: Define Todd's earnings

Let \( x \) be the amount Todd earned.

Step2: Set up the equation

Jamar's earnings (\( \$2500 \)) is \( \$350 \) more than twice Todd's earnings. So the equation is \( 2x + 350 = 2500 \).

Step3: Solve for \( x \)

Subtract \( 350 \) from both sides: \( 2x = 2500 - 350 = 2150 \).
Divide both sides by \( 2 \): \( x = \frac{2150}{2} = 1075 \).

Answer:

Todd earned \(\$1075\) from his summer job.
