The bill from your plumber was $134. the cost for labor was $32 per hour. the cost for materials was $46. how many hours did the plumber work?

since we know the plumber charges $32 for one hour of work, if the plumber works

1 hour, that's 32(1)

2 hours........ 32(2)

3 hours.........32(3)

4hours...........32(4)

x hours...........32(x) => 32x.

the cost of materials is $46, so your total charge for getting the lizard out of the bathtub pipe is the hours rate plus the 46 bucks, namely 32x + 46, and incidentally we know that's $134.

560

hope this : )

i’m here for points.
