Are you to combine the answer or are they 2 separate equations you need to solve for y?
Answer:
I'm sure the answer to this is: x<20/3
A1 = 35x+25
Good guys = 40x
35x+25 = 40x
subtract 3x x from each side
25 = 5x
divide each side by 5
x = 25/5 = 5
so 5 hours they would be the same cost, anything over 5 hours and A1 would be better
so X>5 for A1 to be the better price
