the expressions are correct. If c is the same for both, and the earnings are also the same, then we have
37+1.5c = 40 + 1.0c
.5c = 3
c = 6
check:
37+1.5(6) = 37+9 = 46
40+1(6) = 40+6 = 46

37+1.50(c)= ?
Write an expression that represents the amount Jim is paid each day given the number of cars (c) he washes.
