Answer:

The system of equation to find the length of service call is \left \{ {{y=50 +36x} \atop {y =35 +39x}} \right..

The length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount is 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Let the 'x' represents number of hours of labor.

Also Let the 'y' represent the Total charge.

For Business A:

Fixed charge = $50

Charge of labor for each hour = $36

Amount of total charge is the sum of fixed charge and charge of labor for each hour multiplied number of hours of labor

framing in equation form, we get;

y=50 +36x \ \ \ \ equation \ 1

For Business B:

Fixed charge = $35

Charge of labor for each hour = $39

Amount of total charge is the sum of fixed charge and charge of labor for each hour multiplied number of hours of labor

framing in equation form, we get;

y =35 +39x \ \ \ \ equation \ 2

Hence The system of equation to find the length of service call is \left \{ {{y=50 +36x} \atop {y =35 +39x}} \right..

Now to find the length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount, we will make both the equation equal we get;

50+36x=35+39x

Now we solve the equation,

Combining the like terms, we get;

50-35=39x-36x\\\\15=3x

Dividing both side by '3' using division property, we get;

\frac{15}{3}=\frac{3x}{3}\\\\5=x

Hence The length of  service call for which both businesses charge the same amount is 5 hours.

Please solve with explanation (high points)
IgorLugansk [536]

So, we know that:

A=\dfrac{1}{2}ab\\P=a+b+c\\a^2+b^2=c^2

We also know that (a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2. We will use that fact to find c in terms of A and P.

A=\dfrac{1}{2}ab\Rightarrow 2ab=4A\\P=a+b+c\Rightarrow a+b=P-c

Therefore:

(P-c)^2=c^2+4A\\P^2-2cP+c^2=c^2+4a\\2cP=P^2-4A\\c=\dfrac{P^2-4A}{2P}
