Charles and Paul each have a computer repair business Charles charges a diagnostic fee of 60$ plus 12 per hour spent on computer repairs Paul charges a diagnostic fee of 40$ plus 16 per hour spent on computer repairs this situation can be modeled by the graph below which statement best describes the system of equations
The statement "Charles charges a diagnostic fee of $60 plus $12 per hour spent on computer repairs" can be represented by the equation y = 12x + 60, where x represents the number of hours spent on computer repairs and y represents the total cost.
The statement "Paul charges a diagnostic fee of $40 plus $16 per hour spent on computer repairs" can be represented by the equation y = 16x + 40.
Thus, the system of equations representing the situation is:
y = 12x + 60
y = 16x + 40
