Melissa earns as much in a day of babysitting as Bret does, and Breanna earns $20 more than Bret. If their total babysitting
earnings for one day is $245, how much does Melissa earn per day?

$75

Step-by-step explanation:

let the amount melissa earn be X

and we know that Bret also earns X

than

Breanna earns = X+20

so

X+X+X+20 = 245

3X +20=245

3X= 245-20

3X= 225

X= 75

i think the answer is seven, for if i'm being useless °ω°

step-by-step explanation:

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
