a plumber charges $15 for a service call plus $20 per hour of service. Write an equation in slope-intercept form for the cost, y, after x hours of service. What will be the total cost for 8 hours of work?

C= 25$ + 50$ * h

8 hours 425$

10 hours 525$

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 20x + 15

The total cost for 8 hours of work will be $175

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the total cost for 8 hours of work, substitute the x in the equation with 8, and solve. 20 times 8 is 160. 160 + 15 is 175.

a4 - 3a2 - 1

step-by-step explanation:

step   1   :

equation at the end of step   1   :

  ((a4) -   3a2) -   1

step   2   :

trying to factor by splitting the middle term

2.1     factoring   a4-3a2-1  

the first term is,   a4   its coefficient is   1 .

the middle term is,   -3a2   its coefficient is   -3 .

the last term, "the constant", is   -1  

answer: i think it is (1,-2)
