12. To rent a canoe you pay $10 up front for supplies (life jacket, paddle, etc.) and $6 per hour that you take it
out. Your cost for renting a canoe for the day is $34. Write and solve an equation to find the number of
hours that you rented the canoe

Respuesta :

Answer:

34=6x+10

x=4

Explanation:

So, if you pay $10 dollars up front, that would be constant, non-changing. The six dollars is dependent on the number of hours you rent the canoe, so it would be 6(x) because you could be out there one hour, or twelve, but it would always be multiple by the six. Lastly, since you pay $34 at the end of the day, would be like y in the equation because that is the end result.

  1. Equation: 34=6x+10
  2. -10 both sides: 24=6x
  3. Solve by dividing 6: 4=x

So you rented the canoe 4 hours that day.

(6*4)+10=34

The answer is 4 hours.

You subtract the amount up front from the total. 34-10=24

Then you divide the remaining by 6, because that is the amount charged by hour.

24/6=4
