Question

locksmith larry charges $90 for a house cal plus $20 per hour. Locksmith Barry charges $50 for a house call plus $30 per house. When will both locksmith charge the same

Answer 1

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Equations :

Larry : y = 20x + 90

Barry : y = 30x + 50

Equate both to find the number of hours at which they both charge the same :

• 20x + 90 = 30x + 50
• 30x - 20x = 90 - 50
• 10x = 40
• x = 4 hours
