Write an inequality to represent the real-world problem.then explain how you created the inequality.your clothes washer stopped working during the spin cycle and you need to get a person in to fix the washer. company a costs $20 for the visit and $15 for every hour the person is there to fix the problem. company b costs $40 for the visit and $5 for every hour the person is there to fix the problem. when would company b be cheaper than company a?

Answer 1

Company A : 15h + 20
Company B : 5h + 40
when would company B be cheaper....
15h + 20 > 5h + 40 ...put the less then sign towards Company B, then solve
15h - 5h > 40 - 20
10h > 20
h > 20/10
h > 2

Company B would be cheaper when the hours (h) are greater then 2
