Mr. gomez owns a carpet cleaning bus
different jobs his company was hired to do. for
carpet cleaning business. problems 1-4 show four
pany was hired to do. for each situation:
let a represent the initial charge (1
the house.
present the initial charge in dollars) for coming to
let b represent the number of hours the job takes.
let c represent the charge (in dollars) for each hour the
job takes.
let d represent the total cost in dollars) of the job.
1. determine the total cost of a job.
a. if a = 60, b = 4, and c = 50, write an equation for calculating the total

a) The equation of the total cost is d = a + bc

   The equation for calculating the total is d = 60 + 4(50)

b) The total cost for the job is $260

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- Mr. Gomez owns a carpet cleaning business

- The situation of the job;

# a represents the initial charge (in dollar) for coming to the house

# b represents the number of hours the job takes

# c represents the charge (in dollars) for each hour the  job takes

# d represents the total cost (in dollars) of the job

* Lets make the equation of the total cost

∵ The initial amount of the job is a dollars

∵ The number of hours the job takes is b

∵ The charge per hour is c dollars

∵ The total cost of the job is d

- The total cost is the sum of the initial amount and the product of

 the number of hours the job takes and the charge per hour

∵ The total cost = initial amount + the number of hours × charge

   per hour

∴ d = a + b × c

∴ d = a + bc

a)

* The equation of the total cost is d = a + bc

∵ a = $60 , b = 4 hours , c = $50

∴ d = 60 + 4(50)

* The equation for calculating the total is d = 60 + 4(50)

b)

∵ d = 60 + 4(50)

∴ d = 60 + 200

∴ d = 260

* The total cost for the job is $260

d

step-by-step explanation:

given

y + 3 = - 4(x - 2) ← distribute the parenthesis

y + 3 = - 4x + 8 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

y = - 4x + 5 → d
