Question

Fans & Medals!! I really need help!
Erik needs a plumber and must decide between two companies. For a service visit, Plumber A charges $85 to send a plumber, plus $20/h. Plumber B charges $60 to send a plumber, plus $30/h. The system that models this situation is given, where c is the cost of hiring a plumber and h is the number of hours the plumber works. The solution to the system is (2.5, 135).

What is the correct interpretation of the solution of this system?
