A repair bill was $131. This includes $75 for parts and $28 for each hour of labor. Find the number of hours of labor
Comments
131 = 75 + 28h
131 - 75 = 28h
56 = 28h
h = 2 hours
Let labor worked for x hrs
131 = 75 + 28(x)
28x = 131-75
x = 56/28
x = 2
So labor worked for 2 hrs
131-75, then divide that by 28.
