Question

Let h represent the number of hours for which Jose hires a painter. Which of the following statements are true? Select all that apply.

Answer 1

First, we have to set the equations that represent the total charge for paying each company.

The equation that represents the total charge for Elegance Home painting is:

`T=23h\text{.}`

The equation that represents the total charge for Kristal Klean painting is:

`T_2=175+14h\text{.}`

If we graph both equations, we get:

From the above graph, we get that Elegance painting is cheaper before you hit the mark of 19.44 hours.

Answer:

If Jose hires the painters for 20 hours, Krystal klean Painting will be cheaper.

If Jose hires the painters for 10 hours, Elegance Home Painting would be cheaper.

The expression 23h represents the total charge for Elegance Home Painting.
