I'm in college, I honestly don't know what it is but I hope you find it!
Answer:
I believe the answer is D :)
Answer:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
x = 11 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
Number of hours = x
Total cost = y
Total cost = fixed cost + variable cost
The equations are:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
solve the equation to find for how many hours the total cost of the services is equal.
Equate total cost of both services
20 + 4x = 9 + 5x
Collect like terms
20 - 9 = 5x - 4x
11 = x
x = 11 hours
Check:
Happy paws
y = 20 + 4x
= 20 + 4(11)
= 20 + 44
= 64
Woof watchers
y = 9 + 5x
= 9 + 5(11)
= 9 + 55
= 64
