f(h)=50h + 200
or
50h +C, where C=200

Cannot see the last bit, is there a 2nd question?

As a first-time homeowner, there are going to many decisions that you need to make, such as whom to hire for the upkeep of your lawn. You have just received advertisements from 2 companies in your area: Greener Lawns and Lawns for Less. Greener Lawns charges an initial fee of $200, plus $50 per hour for labor costs. Lawns for Less charges an initial fee of $300, plus $25 per hour for labor costs.

   1. If h represents the number of labor hours and C represents the cost, write the total cost equation for Greener Lawns.
   2. If h represents the number of labor hours and C represents the cost, write the total cost equation for Lawns for Less.
   3. Solve the system of equations for the total cost of lawn care using the desired technique: substitution, elimination, or graphing.
   4. Document how you came to these conclusions for accuracy.

1. C=50h+200
2. C=25h +300
3. elimination is the easiest. subtract the 2nd from the first:
C-C=50h-25h-100
25h=100
h=4
put this back to 1. or 2. to get C=400

To write it with words, you can say that if the work is for 4 hours than the cost is equal (400) and it does not matter which company you choose
