Answer:

B.

3m - 11 = 2m + 9

Amount Maddie earns = m = $20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Amount Maddie earns = m

Amount Lauren earns = 3m - 11

Amount Shannon earns = 2m + 9

If Lauren and Shannon both earned the same amount of money, how much money, m, did Maddie earn?

Amount Lauren earns = Amount Shannon earns

3m - 11 = 2m + 9

Collect like terms

3m - 2m = 9 + 11

m = 20

Amount Maddie earns = m = $20

B.

3m - 11 = 2m + 9
