Answer:
p^(a-1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The simplified expression can be seen in the picture attached below
As the factors have the same base, we just need to add or substract the exponents
p^(a-3+2) = p^(a-1)
If you take 3.5 and divide it by 0.05, or times 20, that would make it 70.
2, left direction (or negative if that’s an option)
Repari cost (x) = y = 35.25 x + 40
x = number of hours to repair the car.
Every hour the cost will increase 35.25, becasue 40 is a fixed cost.
if x = 1, repair cost(1) = 35.25 + 40
if x = 2, repair cost (2) = 35.25*2 + 40
if you subtract repair cost (1) from repair cost (2) you get 35.25*2 - 35.25 = 35.25
The same thing every time the repair time increases one hour.
Answer: the last option of the list, for every hour of labor, the cost increases by $35.25
