A lawn service charges 17 dollars per lawn. If the lawn service earns 187 dollars in a day, write an equation to represent the number of lawns the company serviced.
Let x be the number of lawns they serviced. Since they made 187 off of the number of lawns serviced, and they make 17 dollars per lawn, we have the equation: [tex] 17x=187 \implies \\ x=\frac{187}{17} \implies\\ x=11 [/tex]
