Answer:

5x + 70 = 320

Explanation:

We know that Carmine paid an electrician a certain amount per hour, we also know that they worked for 5 hours. Therefore we have 5x.

He also got paid 70 for parts, meaning an extra $70

And we know that we have the total charge and that the main point of this question is to determine how much the electrician was paid per hour.

Therefore :

5x + 70 = 320
