Linear ProgrammingThe bill for parts and labor for the repair of an automobile was $355. The cost for parts was II $285. The cost of labor was $35 per hour. Let x represent the number of hours of labor. Which of these equations is correctly setup if it took 2 hours of labor to repair the car?
285 = -355 +35x
35x+285 = -355
355 = 285 + 35x
285 = 35x +355
