With the information provided, we can begin with the equation:
y=35x + b
With x = number of hours, y = total cost, b = fixed amount that is charged for residential work
We know that after 6 hours, $270 was charged:
$270 = $35(6) + b
Solve for b:
b = $270 - $210 = $60
The fixed amount that is charged for residential work is $60. So now we can rewrite the equation as:
y = 35x + 60
30 kilograms

Answer:
A) B is greater
B) when C = 21, A = 5 and B = 15
C) A must be 0, 5, or 12 for C to be greater than B
Step-by-step explanation:
A) when a = -3, c = -20 and b = 4(-3)-5 so B = -17
B) when c = 21, a = 5 and b = 4(5)-5 so B = 15
C) C is greater than B when a = 0, 5, and 12
when a = 0, b = 4(0)-5 or -5
when a = 5, b = 4(5)-5 or 15
when a = 12, b = 4(12)-5 or 43
