Question

jordan has saved $50. he got a summer job mowing lawns, and gets $8 for every lawn he mows. how many lawns does jordan need to mow to save exactly $98, the cost of a concert ticket? solve for the value of m. solve on paper, or show your work below. then enter your answer on zearn. 8m + 50 = 98 m = \square

Explanation:

Step1: Subtract 50 from both sides

$8m + 50 - 50 = 98 - 50$
$8m = 48$

Step2: Divide both sides by 8

$\frac{8m}{8} = \frac{48}{8}$
$m = 6$

Answer:

$m = 6$
