The tuition costs, C, for a local community college are modeled by C(h) = 250 + 200h, where h represents the number of credit hours taken. The local state university has tuition costs, S, modeled by the function S(h) = 300 + 180h. How many credit hours will a student have to take for the two tuition costs to be equal? Round the answer to the nearest tenth of an hour. 250 + 200h = 300 + 180h 250 + 200h = 300 + 180h − 180h − 180h 250 + 20h = 300 h = credit hours

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation: i just solved it and it was correct. 300-250=50 50 divided by 20 is 2.5. you divide it by 20 because you have to isolate h in 20h by itself. and to do that you divide 20h by 20
