Monico recently hired a roofer to do some necessary work. On the final bill, Monico was charged a total of $605. The amount listed for parts was $285 and the rest of the bill was for labor. If the hourly rate for labor was $64, how many hours of labor was needed to complete the job? (A) First write an equation you can use to answer this question. Use x as your variable. The equation is

(B) Solve your equation in part (A) to find the number of labor hours needed to do the job. The number of labor hours was

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

24−3x=−27

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

24−3x=−27

24+−3x=−27

−3x+24=−27

step 2: subtract 24 from both sides.

−3x+24−24=−27−24

−3x=−51

step 3: divide both sides by -3.

−3x

−3

=

−51

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
