Question

Braxton and Maggie babysit children for extra money over the summer. Braxton's income is determined by f(x) = 9x + 10, where x is the number of hours. Maggie's income is g(x) = 6x + 15. If Braxton and Maggie were to combine their efforts, their income would be h(x) = f(x) + g(x). Assume Braxton works 5 hours. Create the function h(x), and indicate if Braxton will make more money working alone or by teaming with Maggie.

Answer 1

h(x) = 15x + 25, work alone
