Okay, so we can start with the first problem. You are given this equation: \[\large C= 74 + 23h \] Where \(\large h\) is the amount of hours worked. When solved, \(\large C\) is the total cost for the work. Got it so far?

Luigi0210:

So question one asks about the total price \(\large "c"\) after 7 hours of work. In the equation, 7 hours would be plugged into \(\large 'h' \) since that is the variable for hours worked, like so: \[\Large C= 74 +23(7) \] Solve this and you will be what the total cost is after 7 hours

cheyennebrown12:

Its 161 for the first one

Luigi0210:

For the cost of 7 hours, yes. But it's asking for the *total* cost, that includes the home visit fee of $74. Total would be this: \(\large C=74+161\)

cheyennebrown12:

I get it nowww

Luigi0210:

Yea, it helps to read the questions carefully. Do you need help with the second one or could you manage?

cheyennebrown12:

Luigi0210:
