Using x as the variable, write the equation or inequality that would correctly solve this problem.

Kevin took his car to Dwain's Automotive to have the engine replaced. Kevin was told that at the most, the total bill for parts and labor would be $6,300. The cost of the parts was $3,900. How much could Kevin expect to pay for labor?

I'll be glad to check your answer.

Kevin took his car to Dwain's Automotive to have the engine replaced. Kevin was told that at the most, the total bill for parts and labor would be $6,300. The cost of the parts was $3,900. How much could Kevin expect to pay for labor?

To determine how much Kevin could expect to pay for labor, let's use x as the variable.

Let's assume that x represents the cost of labor.

Given that the total bill for parts and labor would be at most $6,300, we can set up the following inequality:

x + $3,900 ≤ $6,300

Here, we have added the cost of parts ($3,900) to the cost of labor (x) and set it to be less than or equal to $6,300.

To solve for x, we can isolate it on one side by subtracting $3,900 from both sides of the inequality:

x ≤ $6,300 - $3,900

Simplifying the expression on the right:

x ≤ $2,400

Therefore, Kevin could expect to pay at most $2,400 for labor.
