one electrician charges a $50 service call fee plus $25 per hour for labor. Another electrician charges a $35 service call fee plus $27.50 per hour for labor. how long would a job take if the total cost for each electrician is the same?​

The answer would be 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to make equations for these electricians fee's.

Electrician one: Y=25x+50, 50 is the upfront cost and 25 is the cost per hour for work.

Electrician two: Y=27.50x+35, It is the same thing for these numbers.

Then you need to incert numbers into the X place. Y will be your answer.

Y=25(6)+50, Y=150+50, Y=200

Y=27.50(6)=35, Y=165+35, Y=200

The answer would be 6. If both the electricians worked for 6 hours each, their prices would be equal.

mr. flanders’ class sold 47 doughnuts and   mr. rodriquez’s class sold 38 cartons of milk

step-by-step explanation:

let x be the number of doughnuts sold by mr. flanders’ class and y be the number of cartons sold by mr. rodriquez’s class.

1. together, the classes sold 85 items, then

x+y=85.

2. both classes earn earned $104.49 for their school. if doughnuts were sold for $1.35 each, then x doughnuts costed $1.35x. if cartons of milk were sold for $1.08 each, then y cartons costed $1.08y. hence,

1.35x+1.08y=104.49.

3. solve the system of two equations:

the answer is 40.
