Question

A computer repair ball was $225.This included $75 for parts and $50 for each hour labor.Make sure to write and solve an equation.

Answer 1

225 = 75 + 50x where x is the number of labor hours.

3 hours of labor (x=3)

Explanation:

225 = 75 + 50x where x is the number of labor hours.

225 = 75 + 50x

225-75 = 50x

150 = 50x

150/50 = x

3 = x

So it took 3 hours of labor
