Jason earned a total of $15900 from two part-time jobs. if he earned 3700 more from one job than the other , how much did he earn from each job

Let's call job one x.

Job two can be y.

Jason earned $3,700 more from job y than x. Therefore y = x + 3700

From the two jobs, Jason earned $15,900. This can be written as x + y = 15900.

Now substitute y for x + 3700:

x + x + 3700 = 15900

2x + 3700 = 15900

Subtract 3700 from both sides:

2x = 12200

Divide both sides by 2:

x = 6100

Take the original equation x + y = 15900 and substitute x with 6100:

6100 + y = 15900

y = 9800

Job one (x) paid Jason $6,100.

Job two (y) paid Jason $9,800.
