Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
6x + -3 = (3x + -2)
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 6x = (3x + -2)
Reorder the terms:
-3 + 6x = (-2 + 3x)
Remove parenthesis around (-2 + 3x)
-3 + 6x = -2 + 3x
Solving
-3 + 6x = -2 + 3x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 6x + -3x = -2 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 6x + -3x = 3x
-3 + 3x = -2 + 3x + -3x
Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0
-3 + 3x = -2 + 0
-3 + 3x = -2
Add '3' to each side of the equation.
-3 + 3 + 3x = -2 + 3
Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0
0 + 3x = -2 + 3
3x = -2 + 3
Combine like terms: -2 + 3 = 1
3x = 1
Divide each side by '3'.
x = 0.3333333333
Simplifying
x = 0.3333333333
What are the other selections? I think it is right though, just making sure.
Answer: 6 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Taylor cannot spend over $260.
Subtract the cost of the part needed for the repair:
= 260 - 80
= $180
$180 is left for fixing the car after buying the part.
As the labor costs $30 and now she cannot exceed $180 for labor, the total number of hours the mechanic can work is:
= 180 / 30
= 6 hours
