Matt makes $80 a month mowing lawns. His friend James also mows lawns, but he makes x dollars less per  month than Matt does. James makes a total of $816 per year. How much less each month does James make than Matt? Solve the linear equation to find the value for x

. Remember that x represents how much less per month James makes than Matt

Equation: 12(80 – x) = 816

Answer:

x=$12

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given equation

12(80 – x) = 816

First, we distribute:

960-12x=816

Collect like terms

12x=960-816

12x=144

Divide both sides by 12

x=12

Therefore, James makes $12 less than Matt every Month.
