Let's assume Jerrell made $x babysitting on Friday night.

According to the information given, Jerrell made $7 more on Saturday night.

So, on Saturday night, he made $x + $7.

The total amount of money he made babysitting on Saturday night is $24.

Therefore, the equation becomes x + $7 = $24.

We can solve this equation to find x.
Subtracting $7 from both sides of the equation, we get x = $24 - $7.
Simplifying the right side of the equation, we get x = $17.

Hence, Jerrell made $17 babysitting on Friday night.
