Answer:

Company B will charge cheaper in 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

Given data

Company A

charges $25 per hour and a $300 equipment fee

let the total be

A= 300+25t---------------1

Company B

charges $50 per hour and a $125 equipment fee.

let the total be

A= 125+50t---------------2

put t = 5 in the two expressions above

A= 300+25t---------------1

A= 300+25*5

A=300+125

A=$425

B= 125+50t---------------2

B= 125+50*5

B=125+250

B=$375

Answer:

A = 25t + 300 B = 50t + 125

company B is $50 cheaper than company A for 5 hours of landscaping
