A plumber charges a consultation fee of $25 then charges $60 an hour. Write a linear equation to model this situation.


A.

y = 60x + 25


B.

y = 25x + 60


C.

C = 25x + 60y


D.

C = 60x + 25y

Respuesta :

the linear equation is:

$25 consultation fee: b
$60 an hour to repair: mx

y = $60x + $25
the answer is a

Answer:

The linear equation which models this situation is given by:

        A.

                     y = 60x + 25  

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

A plumber charges a consultation fee of $25 then charges $60 an hour.

Let x represents the number of hours.

and y represents the total fee for x hours.

This means that x is an independent variable since the value of such a variable is to be assigned and y is the dependent variable since the value of y is obtained corresponding to different values of x.

Hence, we have:

     The total cost will be:

               y= 60x+25
