Answer:

i. A = $25 t + $150

ii. B = $35 t + $100

iii. Number of hours = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

For company A:

A = $25 t + $150

where A is the amount charged and t is the number of hours of landscaping.

For company B:

B = $35 t + $100

where B is the amount charged and t is the number of hours of landscaping.

When the time  is 5 hours, then:

i. A = $25 t + $150

     = $25 (5) + $150

     = $125 + $150

A = $275

ii. B = $35 t + $100

      = $35(5) + $100

      = $175 + $100

B = $275

Therefore, the number of hours that would make the cost of each company to be the same is 5 hours.
