Answer: Choice A) If Amber and Jorge each sell 5 trees in one week, they will earn the same amount

The amount they earn is $200 each.

========================================================

Explanation:

Let's form the equation for the amount Amber earns.

She starts off at $150, and then we add on 10x dollars. The 10x is because she earns 10 dollars per tree, and we have x be the number of trees sold.

Overall we can say her equation is y = 150+10x

This is the same as y = 10x+150

----------

Since Jorge's equation is y = 25x + 75, we can apply substitution to solve for x

y = 10x+150

25x+75 = 10x+150 .... replace y with 25x+75

25x+75-10x = 150 ... subtract 10x from both sides

15x+75 = 150

15x = 150-75 ... subtract 75 from both sides

15x = 75

x = 75/15 .... divide both sides by 15

x = 5

If they sell 5 trees per week, then Amber and Jorge earns the same amount of money.

That amount earned is

Amber: y = 10x+150 = 10*5+150 = 50+150 = 200 dollars

Jorge: y = 25x+75 = 25*5+75 = 125+75 = 200 dollars

Both earn $200 per week from selling 5 trees for that week. This helps confirm we have the right answer.
