A plumber charges his customers an hourly rate of $25/plus a service fee of $75. If the Smiths paid the plumber $875, how many hours did he work?

answer: do you still need this?

x = 3 ± √(5+y)

the equation of the parallel line would be y = 2x + 9

step-by-step explanation:

to start we need to find the slope of the original line. we can do that by looking at the coefficient of x, which is 2

since the slope of the original line is 2 and parallel lines have the same slope, we know the new line will also have 2 slope. now we can use that along with the point given in point-slope form to get the find equation.

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 5 = 2(x + 2)

y - 5 = 2x + 4

y = 2x + 9

your answer is b.

x = 33.9

y = 65.6
