1 answer

Let's assume the number of hours the plumber worked is represented by the variable "h".

The cost for the house call is a fixed amount of $50, and the cost for the hours of work is $70 per hour. Therefore, we can set up the equation:

50 + 70h = 435

The equation that can be solved to find the number of hours the plumber worked on the house call is:

B. 50 + 70h = 435
