Question

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Formula for c the cost of a painter is,

c = 20h + 35

Here, h = hours the painter worked

If a homeowner has total amount $125 to spend on painting,

So, for c = 125,

125 = 20h + 35

(20h + 35) - 35 = 125 - 35

20h = 125 - 35

$\frac{20h}{20}=\frac{(125-35)}{20}$

h = $\frac{(125-35)}{20}$

Therefore, Option (2) will be the answer.
