Question

a car needw fixing and abe can fix it for $70 per hour with a $130 part, but gabe can fix it for $80 an hour with a $40 part. how long will it take for both abe and gabe to cost the same amount?

Answer 1

70 + 130 = 200
This would be Abe’s one hour of work and the part
80 + 80 + 40 = 200
This would be Gabe’s two hours of work and the part

Answer 2

The answer is 9

Explanation:

(x represents the hours)

130 + 70x = 40 + 80x

70x - 80x = 40 - 130

-10x = -90

-x = -9

x = 9
