A consultant charges $45 for each hour she works on a consultation. Plus a flat $30 consulting fee: which equation could be used to find how many hours of work are included in a $210 bill for a consultation?

Answer 1

Let's represent the number of hours of work as "x".

The consultant charges $45 for each hour of work. So, the total charges for the hours of work would be 45x.

In addition, the consultant charges a flat fee of $30.

Therefore, the equation to find the number of hours of work included in a $210 bill for a consultation is:

45x + $30 = $210
