Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, write an equation. 55x+40=190.
X represents the hours the electrician works. The 55 represents the $55 that she charges for each hour she works. The +40 for the $40 that was the price just to come to your house. The 190 is the total cost. Now, solve that equation.
55x+40=190
55x=150
x=2.72727272...
So the answer is 2.727 hours. It can be rounded as needed or turned into a decimal, 2 8/11.
29.75/8.5=x/4.5
using the "butterfly method"
8.5x=133.875
/8.5 /8.5
x=15.75
You have to make a proportion
The slope of the line is three
