Jake is comparing the prices of two laundry service companies. company a charges $20 per load and an additional $8 as service charges. company b charges $24 per load and an additional $4 as service charges. part a: write equations to represent company a's and company b's total laundry charges for a certain number of loads. define the variable used in the equations. (4 points) part b: which company would charge less for 5 loads of laundry? justify your answer. (3 points) part c: how much money is saved by using the services of company a instead of company b to clean 9 loads of laundry? (3 points)

so firstly, we need to isolate the y variables to be able to solve these inequalities. firstly, add 0.5x on both sides of the first inequality and subtract 1.5x on both sides of the second inequality:

now since the slope is positive for the first inequality, this means that the line going upwards belongs to the first inequality, and the line going downwards belongs to the second inequality.

next, since y ≥ in the first inequality, this means that the shaded region will be above the first inequality's line, thus shading regions a and b.

next, since y ≤ in the second inequality, this means that the shaded region is going to be below this line, thus shading regions a and c.

since both lines shade region a, this means that region a is the solution.
