4. Felipe has earned $42. 50 by mowing lawns for his neighbors
Felipe has earned $42.50 by mowing lawns for his neighbors. He wants to buy inline skates that cost $ Write and solve an equation to find out how much more money Felipe must earn to buy the skates.

5. Solve for Equation $42.50 + m = $69.95 - $42.50 - $42.50 m = $24.75
- $ $42.50
m = $24.75
Felipe needs $27.45 more to buy the inline skates.
Use inverse operation to get the variable alone on one side of the equation.
