    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.
