A plumber charges $65 to make a house call plus an additional charge of $42 per hour for labor. Write an equation to represent the total cost (y) for any number of hours (x).

Answer:

the required equation to represent the total cost with respect to every hour will be

=》y = 42x + 65

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost (y) = charge to make a house call + additional charge for every our

so, total additional charge for x hours

= 42 × x = 42x

hence y = 65 + 42x ( where 65 is charge to make a house call , y is total cost and 42x is additional charge for x hours )
