Write an equation for the problem, then solve it. Pedro earns $42 babysitting. Tessa earns x dollars mowing
lawns. Pedro earns three times as much
as Tessa.

So first Pedro gets $42

then Tessa gets x dollars mowing.  

And it says Pedro gets 3 times as much as Tessa    

therefore the equation shall be>>>>>>  x∙3=$42

Now we do: 42 / 3 = 14

X= 14

Hope u understand. Stay safe QT! (Also sorry it took me a while i put effort in trying to explain It, in the best way possible)
