To solve this, all you have to do is plug in the 14 where the x value is:
y=1.65(14) +2.35 which equals 25.45
Answer:
A. the opposite of -15
Step-by-step explanation:
hope this helped xD
Steps:
let “x” be number of hrs
let “y” be total cost
Abe:
50x + 75 = y
Plumbing Service:
65x=y
Since both equations are equal to y, you can set them equal to each other.
65x = 50x + 75
isolate for x:
65x - 50x = 75
15x = 75
x = 5
therefore it will take 5 hours for each to cost the same. you should call Abe for any task more than 5 hours because it will be cheaper and you should call the Plumbing Service for any task less than 5 hours because it will be cheaper.
