Ben earns an allowance by mowing the lawn and washing the dishes. He earns 2.25 times as much for mowing the lawn as he does for washing the dishes.

He earns an allowance of $15.00 for doing both of his chores. Ben wants to know how much he earns for just washing the dishes.

Write an equation to solve for the amount, x, Ben makes for doing the dishes. Do not solve the equation for x.
Can someone help me with this?
