Max earned $8 for each hour of work he completed. His mom put $120 in his savings account at the end of the summer. By the end of the summer, Max had $400 in his savings account. Write an equation to determine the number of hours Max worked over the summer.

8x +120= 400

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours Max worked over the summer be x.

Assuming that he had $0 in his bank at the start of summer,

Total savings= 8(number of hours) +120

400= 8x +120

8x +120= 400

To find the value of x, first bring all the constants to one side of the equation.

8x= 400 -120

Simplify:

8x= 280

Divide both sides by 8:

x= 280 ÷8

x= 35

∴ Max worked for 35 hours over the summer.

10.416 meters per second

step-by-step explanation:

distance=1 00 meters

time= 9.6 seconds in decimal form or 9 3/5 as a mixed number

average speed= 100/9.6

=10.416 meters per second or 10 52/125 as a mixed number.
