A repair bill for your car is $553. The parts cost $265. The labor cost is $48 per hour.
Write and solve an equation to find the number of hours of labor spent repairing the car.

Respuesta :

Repair Bill = B

Hours = H

------

B = 265 + 48H

But B = 553,

Therefore:

553 = 265 + 48H

48H = 553 - 265

48H = 288

H= 288/48

H= 6

-----

Answer:

6 hours
$553-$265=($288 divided by $48=6 hours of labor
