Write an equation for this problem: A contractor calculated his fee as $50 plus &25/hr. How many hours did he work if his bill was $300? I can't write equations for my life, sorry xD Thanks!

OpenStudy (aaronq):

you wanna break it down, he gets $50 for showing up and $25 for every hour he stays. total charge=300=50+25x where x is the number of hours

OpenStudy (aaronq):

solve for x, the number of hours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

225 hours
