15+c=17.50 First you subtract 15 by 15 because you switch operations from adding to subtracting then you would put C under it Second subtract 17.50 and 15 and that is 2.50 so C= 2.50

Answer:

The given expression is

[tex]15+c=17.50[/tex]

We can use this expression to model the cost for a service.

Let's say that your gardener charges an initial amount of $15, and an additional per  hour. If the gardener worked only for one hour, and the total cost charged was $17.50, how much was the additional cost?

So, the given expression models this real life situation, we can answer the problem by just solving the equation for [tex]c[/tex]

[tex]15+c=17.50\\c=17.50-15\\c=2.50[/tex]
