Acar needs fixing and abe can fix it for $70 per hour with a $130 part, but gabe can fix it for $80 an hour with a $40 part. how long will it take for both abe and gabe to cost the same amount?

9 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Abe's charge  =   Gabe's charge

$130+($70/hr)h = $40+($80/hr)h

Then 130 + 70h = 40 + 80h, or

           90           =   10h, or h = 90/10 = 9

When 9 hours have passed, the amount charged by each person will be temporarily equal.

first, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 > f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 > f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 > f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 > f (17) = 161743
