Question 251694: What is the linear equation of the following?
Recently, I took my car to the mechanic to replace the timing belt. The mechanic charges $60 an hour on labor. If the parts cost $100 and the total bill was $340, how many hours of labor did the mechanic charge to replace the timing belt?
AND THIS IS WHAT I HAVE SO FAR...

340-100
60

240 /60 = 4 hours

Looks good.
Just put it all together in terms of variables x, y etc
p=100
p +60h=340
