Pl Help A plumber charges $55 for a service call plus $40 for each hour he works. If the total bill for a job costs $215, write an equation to represent the situation. 40 + 55 = x + 215 215 = x + 40 + 55 215 = 40 + 55x 215 = 40x + 55

The answer is 215=55x+40 or 215=40+55x

Step-by-step explanation:

The reason it is that is because the plumber charges $55 for a service and he adds 40 for each hour he works so that is why this is the answer Remember the total bill cost 215 so that comes as the equation is equal to.

Hope that helps

Second option.

Step-by-step explanation:

To finish solving for x, Zoe can divide both sides of the equation  by 3 (Division property of equality, which states that you must divide both sides of the equation by the same number to keep it balanced):

Zoe can also multiply both sides of the equation by (Multiplication property of the equality which states that you must multiply both sides of the equation by the same number to keep it balanced).

Therefore, Zoe can use either the multiplication or division property of equality
