A plumber charges $80 per hour to complete a job. She also charges an
additional fiat fee of $50 for each job. The total charge for one particular job
was $490. This situation is represented by the equation 80x-50 = 490.
How long did the job take?
5.5! Now, you need to know why. The total cost was $490, there is a fee of $50, so subtract the fee from the total cost and you should then divide that by $80 because thats how much it is an hour.
