Answer:

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.
