Carmine paid an electrician x dollars per hour for a 5-hour job plus $70 for parts. the total charge was $320. which equation can be used to determine how much the electrician charged per hour?

5x = 320 - 70

Step-by-step explanation:

Carmine paid an electrician per hour = x dollars

For 5 hours he was paid = 5x

For parts he got = $70.00

Hence, 5x + 70

The total charge = $320

so, 5x + 70 = 320

Electrician charged per hour the equation would be :

5x = 320 - 70

One equivalent equation could just be the numbers 2.5 and 5 distributed.
2.5(12-2x)+5(x+1)
= 30 - 5x + 5x + 5

Another equivalent equation could be the distribution of those numbers again and also the combination of like terms.
2.5(12-2x)+5(x+1)
30 - 5x + 5x + 5
= 35
