Question

A mechanic charges $35

to perform an inspection on a car, and $55
per hour for a repair. Which equation gives the total cost, y
, for a repair that lasts x
hours? 35x−55=y, 35x+55=y , 55x−35=y , 55x+35=y

Answer 1

55x+35=y. 55 per hour times the number of hours (x) plus 35 for the inspection gives you the total cost (y)
