Answer:

-5 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

  • x = amount of money with Jim at the start of the week ($)

After eating out:

  • Spends 45 dollars, or 45 dollars is removed
  • x - 45

After mowing lawns:

  • Gains 55 dollars, or 55 dollars is added
  • x - 45 + 55 = x + 10

After buying gas:

  • x + 10 - 15 = x - 5

At the end of the week, he ended up with 5 dollars less than he started, so the change is -5 dollars
