Question

Kevin cuts lawns during the summer months. He charges $10 plus $5 per hour. The algebraic model is C = 5h + 10, where C represents the total cost and h represents the hours worked. Use pencil and paper to create a table of values for hours worked from 1 to 5, incrementing h by 1 in each row.

Answer 1

1 hour : 15 dollars

2 hours: 20 dollars

3 hours: 25 dollars

4 hours: 30 dollars

5 hours: 35 dollars

Explanation:

Substitute the hour number in for h and solve. for example, if you were trying to find 5 hours, you would produce the equation c = 5(5) + 10. once you solve that you get c = 25 + 10 which is also c = 35.
