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)

(10 points)

a)$20.00(x) + $8.00 b) $24.00(x)+ $4.00

part b) company a would charge less because $20.00 multiplied by 5 is 100 then add on the eight and that become 108. and when you multiply 24 by 5 your answer come out to be 120, yet you must add on the eight so then its 124. so that leaves company a to charge less.

part c)$80 because if you multiply 20 by 9 it turns out to be 188 then subtract 108 and you get 88.
