Easton is deciding between two landscaping companies for his place of business. Company A charges $25 per hour and a $150 equipm

ent fee. Company B charges $35 per hour and a $100 equipment fee. Let AA represent the amount Company A would charge for tt hours of landscaping, and let BB represent the amount Company B would charge for tt hours of landscaping. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t,t, and determine the number hours, t,t, that would make the cost of each company the same.

Answer:

5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Company A:

Charge for an hour =$ 25

Charge for 't' hours = 25 *t = 25t

Total cost = Equipment fee + charge for t hours

  AA = 150 + 25t

Company B:

Charge for an hour =$ 35

Charge for 't' hours = 35 *t = 35t

Total cost = Equipment fee + charge for t hours

  BB = 100 + 35t

BB = AA

100 + 35t = 150 + 25t

Subtract 25t from both sides

100 + 35t - 25t = 150

           100 +  10t = 150

Subtract 100 from both sides

10t = 150 - 100

10t = 50

Divide both sides by 10

t = 50/10

t = 5

A system of equations is shown below.
Alja [10]

You can use the process elimination to solve. In other words, subtract or add the equations like normal.

5x + 2y = -15

+ 2x - 2y = -6

Because there is a 2y and -2y, we can add both equations to eliminate the y so that we can figure out what x is:

5x + 2x = 7x

2y + (-2y) = 0

-15 + (-6) = -21

We now have 7x = -21

Divide all by 7 to get x = -3

Plug in -3 to any of the two equations. I will use the second equation:

2(-3) - 2y = -6

-6 - 2y = -6

-2y = 0

y = 0

This means that the solution to the system of equations is (-3, 0) in the form of (x, y).
