Andreas Moreno · Answer 1

He washed 4 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The variable that was unknown x amount of cars washed.

2. The equation I used was 110-50=15x

3. To solve this you subtract the 50$ from 110$ you get sixty dollars you do that to take out what he earned for his allowance. Then your equation is 60=15x so you divide each side by 15 and when you do that x=4
