Devyn, Jessica, & Ashley earned a total of $228. Ashley earned $12 more than Jessica and Devyn earned $20 less than twice the amount Jessica earned. How much did each girl earn babysitting?

Jesicaa=$59

Ashley=$71

Devyn=$98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jessica's earning be x:

-Given that the total earnings for the three was$228. earnings per person is calculated as:

#Equate their earnings to the 228 to solve for x:

#Substitute for x in each earning equation to determine individual earnings:

associative property of multiplication

for the friend request.

when a figure, such as triangle (xyz) is reflected over the line y = x to create x'y'z' the x-coordinates and y-coordinates of the original image (pre-image) will be reversed for the image. (e.g., (x, y) > (y, x)) this means that the pre-image position of the x- and y-coordinates switch places which in turn provides a mirror like image of the original xyz.  

i notice that when i draw a line segment from x to x', that the points are parallel from each other -- they are exactly across from each other and do not intersect with any other points.  

yes, think i would see the same characteristic if you drew the line segment connecting y with the reflecting line and then y' with the reflecting line because of the essence of reflections. because it is a mirror image, each point was effected the same way which leads me to conclude that they same would apply to y and y'.
