Respuesta :

calculista
Let
x------------> the number of hours
y------------> the charge in dollars

we know that

Best bet moving company
y=800+16x

Third bet moving company
y=720+21x

the charge by both companies will be the same when
800+16x=720+21x
21x-16x=800-720
5x=80
x=80/5-------> x=16  hour

the answer is
16 hours
