    14 bags

    Step-by-step explanation:

    If you earn $17, to find the number of bags substitute 17 for y in the equation y=0.50x+10. Then use inverse operations to solve for x.

    17 = 0.50x+10 Subtract 10 from both sides.

    17-10 = 0.50x

    7=0.50x Divide both sides by 0.50

    7/0.50 = x

    14 = x
