x = number of members

Each washed 3 cars and charged $2 per car. That means each person made 3*2 = $6.

Total amount of money made is
6x.

Total income was $66, but $6 of that was in tips.

So, 66 - 6 = $60 in actual earnings.

6x = 60
x = 10

There were 10 members.

Each member of the Club washed 3 cars and charged $2 per car, so each member earned $6 for the Club.
They had $66 including $6 in tips, so the cars washed brought in $60.
Since each member contributed $6, there must have been 10 members.

$66 less $6 in Tips = $60
3 cars @ $2 per car = $6 per member,
each makes 6, total made 60, number of members = 10

3x2=6 so each person made six dollars if they made six dollars in tips there is 60$ over 6 dollars per person, it is 60/6 so there were 10 people in the club.
