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

i think 1: 2

step-by-step explanation:

question 1 is 8, question 2 is 9, question 3 is 24

step-by-step explanation:

now, the numbers they give you at the top are the key. from there, you just have to plug and chug! let's try 1, 2, and 3!

key: a=3, b=5, c=6

1. a+5

remember, a=3, so we plug that in to get 3+5=8

2. 15-c

c=6, so we plug that in to get 15-6=9

3. 4b

b=6, so we plug it in to get 4*6=24

time to try the rest on your own! if you put the answers below in a comment, i'll check them for you!
