your query :
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
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 )
i hope u got it
have a great day ^_^
