Answer:
a. x=1.8?
Step-by-step explanation:
im not really sure but i need help also. Im sorry but i just thought to say something.
Plug the coordinate pairs into the equation. The first value is the x, and the second value is why. Solve the equation and if the answer on both sides is the same number, the coordinate pair satisfied the equation
let h be the number of hours then
A → C = 150h + 250 ( where C is charge )
B → C = 175h + 150
for 26 hours
A → C = (150 × 26 ) + 250 = 3900 + 250 = $4150
B → C = (175 × 26 ) + 150 = 4550 + 150 = $4700
Attorney A is cheaper for 26 hours, thus better deal
Equate the 2 equations to find hours they charge the same
175h + 150 = 150h + 250 ( subtract 150h from both sides )
25h + 150 = 250 ( subtract 150 from both sides )
25h = 100 ( divide both sides by 25 )
h = 4 ← number of hours when charges for both are equal
Thus Attorney A becomes a better deal at 5 hours
