Question

Walter is going to hire a makeup artist for a fashion show and is comparing prices. Bernie

charges $100 as a booking fee and additional $50 per hour. Jada charges $60 per hour,
plus a booking fee of $50. Depending on the length of the show, the cost could end up being
the same for either artist. How long would the show be?

Answer 1

H=5, or five hours
Explanation
So you would create two equations
100+50h
50+60h

To find how many hours it would take for them to be equal you would put the equation equal to each other
So,
100+50h=50+60h
Solve h by combing like terms
So,
-10h=-50 then divide,
h=5
Optional, to check just substitute 5 back in both equations
100+50(5)=350
50+60(5)=350
