Respuesta :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

20+0.75x

20+0.75(14)

20+ 10.5 = 30.5

Answer:

[tex]0.75x+20=30[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of piles of leaves

Cost of raking leaves per pile= $0.75

Cost of raking leaves x piles= 0.75 x

Cost of mowing lawn = $20

His goal is to earn exactly $30 each time he mows a lawn and rakes leaves.

So, equation becomes : [tex]0.75x+20=30[/tex]

Hence equation models Alan’s goal is  [tex]0.75x+20=30[/tex]
