Answer:

'x' represents the number of test taken by Mike and Jake

Step-by-step explanation:

Jake and Mike took a different number of tests. Jake scored 85 points on each test. Mike's total score was 15 less than Jake's total score

The following expression shows Mike's total score:

$85 x - 15$

Jake's Total score = score on each test * number of tests

Mike's total score = score on each test * number of tests - 15

Mike's total score = 85 x - 15

Here 'x' represents the number of test taken by Mike and Jake
