Rewrite the equation to isolate h.b. If a job costs $950, how many hours did it take?I’ve already solved part a I just need help with part b

According to the given equation, we need to solve it for h:


\begin{gathered} c=25h+350 \\ c-350=25h \\ h=(c-350)/(25) \end{gathered}

To find how many hours it took for a job that costs $950, replace c for this value and find h:


\begin{gathered} h=(950-350)/(25) \\ h=(600)/(25) \\ h=24 \end{gathered}

It took 24 hours to do the job.
