I NEED TO KNOW NOW IT'S DUE!! Last summer, Fred earned 16 dollars per day, and Maria earned 18 dollars per day together, they earned 1780 dollars. If Fred worked 5 more days than Maria, how many days did Maria work?

x = # of days Maria worked

x + 5 = # of days Fred worded

$16(x + 5) + $18x = $1780

Let's distribute the $16

$16x + $80 + $18x = $1780

Combine like terms

$34x + $80 = $1780

Subtract $80 from both sides.

$34x = $1700

Divide both sides by $34

x = 50 days

Maria worked 50 days
