a the number of yards jason mowed
b the number of cars jason washed
c the amount jason charged for each hard mowed
d the amount jason charged for each car washed

1 answer

In the equation \(5(25) + 10x = 225\), the term \(10x\) represents the total amount Jason earned from washing cars. Since he washes cars and the coefficient of \(x\) is 10, this means \(x\) represents the amount he charges for each car washed.

Therefore, the correct answer is: d the amount jason charged for each car washed.
