Answer
456.50=159 + 3.5x
OR
3.5x=456.50-159

Reason
456.50 is the total
159 is for the parts
3.5 is the number of hours

So to find the cost you have to find out how much it cost for the labor by subtracting the total cost from the cost of the parts. To find the cost of labor for each hour you have to divide the total cost of labor by the number of hours used to work on the computer

Answer:

456.50 = 3.5x + 159, $85 per hour for labor

Step-by-step explanation:

456.50 = 3.5x + 159

subtract 159 from both sides

297.50 = 3.5x

divide by 3.5 on both sides to isolate x

x = 85

What is the answer to 3(x+1) = 5+x
AleksandrR [38]

3 (x + 1) = 5 + x

First you must distribute the 3 to the values inside the parentheses:

3 (x + 1) = 5 + x

(3 * x) + (3 * 1) = 5 + x

3x + 3 = 5 + x

Now you must combine like terms. Like terms are numbers that have matching variables like 3x and x OR are numbers with out variables like 3 and 5.

3x - x = 5 - 3

2x = 2

Next, to completely isolate x, divide 2 to both sides. Since 2 is being multiplied by x, division (the opposite of multiplication) will cancel 2 out (in this case it will make 2 one) from the left side and bring it over to the right side.

2x / 2 = 2 / 2

1x = 1

Check:

3 (1 + 1) = 5 + 1

3 (2) = 5 + 1

6 = 6

^^^This is true, therefore:

x = 1

Hope this helped!
