Respuesta :

Let the service call fee be x and the hourly rate be r, then

we have that

[tex]x+r=65------------(1)[/tex]

and

[tex]x+2r=105---------------(2)[/tex]

Using the elimination method, and subtracting equation (1) from equation (2), we have

r = 40.

Substituting r = 40 into equation (1), we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+(40)=65 \\ \Rightarrow x=65-40=25 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Hence, the service call fee is $25
