Answer by fractalier(6550) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
If we call what he made last week x, then he made 4x - 18 this week.
Together we can write
x + (4x - 18) = 262
5x - 18 = 262
5x = 280
x = 56
Your question was not very clear but I think this is what you meant.
