After 3.2 or 3 hours and 12 minutes, the total cost of services is equal.
Explanation:
First, set up equations for total cost for both Happy Paws and Woof Watchers.
x= number of hours
y= total cost
Happy Paws
y
=
1.5
x
+
19
Woof Watchers
y
=
2.75
x
+
15
Because you have to find when total cost is equal, then the y's of both equations are equal to each other. That means you can substitute the Woof Watchers'
2.75
x
+
15
into the
y
of Happy Paws.
2.75
x
+
15
=
1.5
x
+
19
Rearrange the equation so the variable, x, is on one side and the numbers on the other and solve.
1.25
x
=
4

x
=
3.2
You can check the answer by plugging
3.2
into x in the two equations and see if they yield the same total cost
Happy Paws:
1.5
(
3.2
)
+
19
=
23.8

Woof Watchers:
2.75
(
3.2
)
+
15
=
23.8

Answer: y = 1.50x + 19 and y = 2.75x + 14
y = 25
x = 4
Both services will charge an equal cost of $25 for 4 hours.

o-na [289]
The answer would be A. When using Cramer's Rule to solve a system of equations, if the determinant of the coefficient matrix equals zero and neither numerator determinant is zero, then the system has infinite solutions. It would be hard finding this answer when we use the Cramer's Rule so instead we use the Gauss Elimination. Considering the equations:

x + y = 3 and <span>2x + 2y = 6
Determinant of the equations are </span>
<span>| 1 1 | </span>
<span>| 2 2 | = 0
</span>
the numerator determinants would be
<span>| 3 1 | . .| 1 3 | </span>
<span>| 6 2 | = | 2 6 | = 0.
Executing Gauss Elimination, any two numbers, whose sum is 3, would satisfy the given system. F</span>or instance (3, 0), <span>(2, 1) and (4, -1). Therefore, it would have infinitely many solutions. </span>
