Answer:  After 3.5 hours, Perfect pipes is less expensive than No leaks here.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of hours be 'h'.

So, Perfect pipes charges $120 plus $40 per hour.

so, our equation becomes,

[tex]f(h)=120+40h[/tex]

No leaks charges $50 plus $60 per hour.

So, our equation becomes,

[tex]g(h)=50+60h[/tex]

According to question, Perfect pipes is less expensive than no leaks here after how many hours.

So, it becomes,

[tex]120+40h<50+60h\\\\120-50<60h-40h\\\\70<20h\\\\\dfrac{70}{20}<h\\\\3.5<h[/tex]

Hence, After 3.5 hours, Perfect pipes is less expensive than No leaks here.
