Answer:

Part a) see the procedure

Part b) [tex]2.5\ hours[/tex]

Part c) The charge will be $95

Step-by-step explanation:

Part a) Write a system of equations to represent the situation

Let

x ----> the number of hours

y ----> the total charge

we know that

A professional organizer

[tex]y=20x+45[/tex] ----> equation A

Her competitor

[tex]y=26x+30[/tex] ----> equation B

Part b) Solve the system by substitution. For what number of hours will the total charge be the same?

we have

[tex]y=20x+45[/tex] ----> equation A

[tex]y=26x+30[/tex] ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

[tex]26x+30=20x+45[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]26x-20x=45-30[/tex]

[tex]6x=15[/tex]

[tex]x=2.5\ hours[/tex]

Part c) What will that charge be?

For x=2.5 hours

substitute in equation A or equation B

The charge will be the same

Verify

Equation A

[tex]y=20(2.5)+45=\$95[/tex]

Equation B

[tex]y=26(2.5)+30=\$95[/tex]

therefore

The charge will be $95
