Let's assume that it will take x hours to fix Max's car.
According to the problem, Bubbas Body Shop charges 25 dollars per hour of labor. Therefore, the total cost of labor at Bubbas Body Shop can be calculated as:
Cost at Bubbas = 25 * x
On the other hand, Mike's Mechanics charges 15 dollars per hour of labor plus a 75 dollar fee. So, the total cost of labor at Mike's Mechanics can be calculated as:
Cost at Mike's = 15 * x + 75
Since both mechanics are charging the same amount to fix Max's car, we can set up an equation equating the costs:
25x = 15x + 75
Now, we can solve the equation:
25x = 15x + 75
-15x -15x (subtracting 15x from both sides)
10x = 75
10x/10 = 75/10 (dividing both sides by 10)
x = 7.5
Therefore, it will take 7.5 hours to fix Max's car.
max wrecked his car and needs to get it fixed as soon as possible he took his car to two different mechanics and both said they would charge the same amount of money to fix his car Bubbas Body Shop charges 25 dollars per hour of labor mikes mechanics charges 15 dollars per hour of labor plus a 75 dollar fee write the equation for this problem how many hours will it take to fix max's car solve the equation and show all your work
