For each plumbing repair job, Mr. Wrench charges \(N\) dollars for coming out to the house plus \(x\) dollars per hour that he works at the house. He charged \(\$97\) for a one-hour repair job and \(\$265\) for a five-hour repair job. What is his charge for a two-hour repair job?

 

Thanks in advance for the help /ᐠ。ꞈ。ᐟ\

\(N+1x = 97\\ N+5x = 265\)

 

\(\text{Subtract eq 1 from eq 2}\\ 4x = 168\\ x = \$42\\ N = 97-x = 97-42 = \$55\)
