Sam is baking cakes at her parents' bakery. she gets paid $20 a week in addition to $5 for every cake she bakes. she made $50 this week. write an equation to show how many cakes sam baked this week.
20 − 5x = 50
50 + 5x = 20
20 + 5x = 50
50 − 5x = 20

20 + 5x = 50

step-by-step explanation:

how much did sam earn

20 dollars plus 5 dollars per cake baked

20 +5x   where x is the number of cakes

she made 50 dollars

20+5x =50

20 + 5x = 50

step-by-step explanation:

equation to show how many cakes sam baked this week:

20 + 5x = 50

20 = 20 dollars

5 = 5 more dollars
