Mrs. Solar modeled Contractor 2's fees with the formula y=150+55x. Mrs. Solar compared Contractor 2's fee to Contractor 1's fee.

I'm assuming that Contractor 1 fees are modeled by

y = 200 + 50x

And we know that Contractor 2 fees are modeled by

y = 150 + 55x

(a) Contractor 2 charges $5 more per hour than Contractor 1

(c) The flat fee for Contractor 1 is $50 more than that for Contractor 2
