Alejandro Christensen · Answer 1

150=8x

Katie wants additional $150 and the slope is 8, because she is charging $8 per lawn

150=8x

Divide 8 by both sides to get x by itself

x=18.75

The answer is a decimal, but you cannot have

.75 of a person, so round it up

x=19

Katie would need 19 more customers to earn an additional $150
