It's simple, if you understand. Let's see.

y = the total cost of everything.

x=the total amount of hours spent on the contract.

It's simple!

$140 is the base line. It never changes. So, we begin with $140. Every hour Luigi works, he charges $25. So $140+$25x. Finally, our total amount is y, so $140+$25x=y. abracadabra!
