Let's represent the amount of money Jerrell made babysitting on Friday night as "x". We know that he made $7 more on Saturday night, so on Saturday night he made x + $7.
According to the information given, Jerrell made $24 babysitting on Saturday night. So we can write the equation:
x + $7 = $24
To solve for x, we need to isolate it. We can do this by subtracting $7 from both sides of the equation:
x + $7 - $7 = $24 - $7
x = $17
Therefore, Jerrell made $17 babysitting on Friday night.
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
