Question

An electrician charges $100 just to come out of your house plus $35 an hour for the actual work. the electrician states that the bill will be at least $240 by the time he finishes.

write and solve an inequality to show the minimum number of hours the electrician will be at your home.

can the electrician work a total of four hours at your house?​

Answer 1

100+35x=24

we dont know how many hours he works so we put x next to the 35 because its $35 per hour
