The correct answer is A. Number of hours worked
Explanation:
In the equation presented, the number of hours worked is the only factor that varies, it is expected the plumber has to work a different number of hours depending on each situation and this affects the final cost as the number of hours is multiplied by $25 (cost of one hour). On the other hand, factors such as the house call charge or the price of an hour for labor are fixed and do not change.
Moreover, in equations, the factor that changes and can affect others is known as the independent variable. This means the number of hours can be classified as the independent variable because this is not fixed and affect other variables including the total cost.
It is lower then 20 so most likely C (15)
Let breadth be x
We know





It doesnot have any real roots
3pm we know this because 5^3= 125 so then we plug in numbers for the exponent in this case 6 which equals 15,625 now 9am plus 6 is 3pm
