Michelle's car needs repairs. The mechanic said it will be $144 for parts plus $80 an hour to repair the car. How many hours can Michelle afford to pay the mechanic if she can spend no more than $384?

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost = 144 + 80h

Where h = number of hours

How many hours can Michelle afford to pay the mechanic if she can spend no more than $384?

384 = 144 + 80h

Subtract 144 from both sides

384 - 144 = 144 + 80h - 144

384 - 144 = 80h

240 = 80h

Divide both sides by 80

h = 240 / 80

= 3

h = 3 hours

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x

2
