Answer:

$1500 and $3000

Step-by-step explanation:

1) This is a function to be modelled. A flat rate ($500) is fixed, while the $50 is variable. For each job has its hours. Calling it as P, for Price:

[tex]P(x)=50x+500[/tex]

a) How much would the painting company charge to paint a house that

needs 20 hours of labor?

[tex]P(20)=50(20)+500 \Rightarrow P(20)=\$1500[/tex]

b) A house that needs 50 hours?​

Similarly, we can calculate for P(50)

[tex]P(50)=50(50)+500 \Rightarrow P(50)=\$3000[/tex]
