Answer:
5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
A quick way to look at this is to compare the difference in hourly charge to the difference in 0-hour charge.
The first day, the charge is $3 more than $12 per hour.
The second day, the charge is $12 less than $15 per hour.
The difference in 0-hour charges is 3 -(-12) = 15. The difference in per-hour charges is 15 -12 = 3. The ratio of these is ...
$15/($3/h) = 5 h
The charges are the same after 5 hours.

If you write equations for the charges, they will look like ...
y1 = 15 + 12(x -1)
y2 = 3 + 15(x -1)
Equating these charges, we have ...
15 +12(x -1) = 3 + 15(x -1)
12x +3 = 15x -12 . . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
15 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . add 12-12x
x = 15/3 = 5 . . . . . . divide by 3
You might notice that the math here is very similar to that described in words, above.
The charges are the same after 5 hours.
Answer:
578 + 48 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
The computation of the area of the purple band is as follows:
Area of the green square = side^2 = x^ square inches
And, the area of the orange square = side^2
The side would be = = 12 + 12 +x = 24 + x
And, now the area would be = (x + 24)^2
Now the area of the orange band is
= Area of the orange square area of the green square
= (x + 24)^2 - x^2
= x^2 + 24^2 + 48 - x^2
= 578 + 48 square inches
