In one​ month, Jason earns​ $32.50 less than twice the amount Kevin earns. Jason earns​ $212.50. Write and solve an algebraic equation to show how to find the amount that Kevin earns.

Answer 1

Explanation:

2K - 32.50 = 212.50

2K = 245

Therefore, Kevin earns 245/2 = $122.50

We can double check this by reversing the solution:

122.50 x 2 = 245

245 - 32.50 = 212.50

Therefore, we can be certain that our answer is correct!
