Jerrell made $24 babysitting his cousins Saturday night. This is $7 more than he made babysitting Friday night. How much money did Jerrell make babysitting on Friday night? Write and solve an equation to find the answer.(1 point)

Answer 1

Let's say Jerrell made x dollars babysitting on Friday night.
Since he made $7 more on Saturday, he made x+7 dollars babysitting.
The total amount made by Jerrell on Saturday is x+7 = $24.
To find x, we'll subtract 7 from both sides of the equation x+7=24, to get x=17. Answer: \boxed{17}.
