An electrician charges $40 for each hour he works plus a $125 service charge. The total charge for a recent job was $1,205. Which equation could be used to determine the number of hours, h, that the electrician worked on the job?
40h is what you start out with since it costs 40 ever hour. then you add the service charge which makes it 40h + 125, and then since the total charge is 1205, that would complete the equation.
Step-by-step explanation: The electrician makes 40 dollars for EACH hour he works, meaning you'll need a variable behind that. Then, the electrician makes an extra $125.00 for each job he takes meaning the equation would be : 40h + 125 = 1205
