Your refrigerator is broken so you set up an appointment to have it fixed. The technician has a one time service fee of $105 plus it costs $439 to replace the broken part and $75 per hour for labor. This scenario is represented by the equation,t=105+439+75ht=105+439+75h, where t = total amount of money and h = number of hours. If the technician was at your house for 5 hours, what is the total amount you have to pay to fix your refrigerator?
