Question

Jeremy mowed several lawns to earn money for camp. After he paid $17 for gas he had $75 left over to pay towards camp. Write and solve an equation to find how much money he earned mowing lawns.

REALLY NEED HELP

Answer 1

17+75=x
or it could be written x-17=75
since he PAID $17 for gas, that makes it negative
if he has $75 left over AFTER subtracting $17, 17+75 is the total he had before.
