Your air conditioner hasn’t been working properly, so you decide to set up an appointment to have it fixed. The repair company tells you that it costs $99 for a one time service fee plus $50 every hour. The technician came to your house and determined the drain was clogged. The total bill came to $549. Write an equation that represents this situation. (do not use any spaces in your equation & use the letter "x" to represent your variable)

Answer:

[tex]99 + 50x = 549[/tex]

Alternatively you can write it as;

[tex]50x - 450 = 0[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

One time service fee=$99

Rate of service=$50/hour

let unknown hours=x

Therefore the equation is

[tex]99 + 50x = 549[/tex]

or you can further simplify it to:

[tex]50x - 450 = 0[/tex]

And you can then solve for x to be 9 hours.
