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.

Wellllll
Very confusing

anonymous · Answer

yep thats why i am here

phi · Answer

if we used x and y instead of w and c we would have these two equations
y = 28x+340 
y = 32x +280

those are the equations for 2 different lines. 
the lines will meet at some point  (i.e.  some (x,y) pair)
that point is the solution of the system

Im not the best in math. Well I suck at math but ill try to help.

phi · Answer

In your problem they tell you the solution is (15, 760)
any idea with number is "c" and which is "w" ?
