Answer 11

notice how choice C is

If a landscape company charges $30 plus $6 per hour to mow a yard, how much would they charge for a job that takes x hours?

this basically says that the fixed cost is $30 and then you add on a variable cost of $6 an hour

so 30 + 6*(# of hours) = 30 + 6x =6x + 30
