Paul’s Pool Service charges $340 to open a pool and charges $28 each week for pool maintenance. Nelson’s Pool Service charges $280 to open a pool and charges $32 each week for pool maintenance. The system that models this situation is given, where c is the cost of pool maintenance and w is the number of weeks. c = 340 + 28w c = 280 + 32w The solution to the system is (15, 760). Which interpretation correctly describes the solution to the system of equations? A. At 15 wk of pool cleanings, a customer will reach the maximum payment of $535. B

The solution to the system describes when the costs for both plans will be the same.

OpenStudy (patrickweewoos):

so a

OpenStudy (perl):

Patrick, where is B

OpenStudy (patrickweewoos):

Ohh hold up

OpenStudy (igreen):

15 represents the weeks, 760 represents the total cost of both equations.

OpenStudy (patrickweewoos):

A. At 15 wk of pool cleanings, a customer will reach the maximum payment of $535. B. At 15 wk, the cost for pool maintenance is the same for both companies. Both companies will charge $760. C. Paul’s Pool Service charges more money in the fifteenth week by charging $760. D. Nelson’s Pool Service charges more money in the fifteenth week by charging $760.

OpenStudy (igreen):

A is incorrect..

OpenStudy (igreen):

Remember, I said that that's when both of the plans will be the same..so which option is it? @PatrickWeeWoos

OpenStudy (patrickweewoos):

Oh easily B

OpenStudy (perl):

easily
