LESSON
7-2
Practice and Problem Solving: C
Use the following for 1–5.
DJ A charges $75.30 plus $12.50 per hour. DJ B charges $52.90 plus
$18.10 per hour. When will their charges be equal?
1. Write a one-variable equation for the charges of DJ A.
f(x) = ___________________________
2. Write a one-variable equation for the charges of DJ B.
g(x) = ___________________________
3. Complete the table for f(x) and g(x).
