Question

Carmine paid an electrician x dollars per hour for a 5-hour job plus $70 for parts. The total charge was $320. Which equation can be used to determine how much the electrician charged per hour? (Tek 7.10A)

Answer 1

First one (5x=320-70)

Explanation:

If she paid 70$ for parts, then you have to subtract it from 320$ because that is the total. Therefore, 5x will be equal to 320-70 or 5x=320-70 :)
