The expression 20x + 60 represents the total charges, which includes a fixed rental fee and an hourly fee, where x is the hours of the rental. What does the coefficient of the first term of the expression represent?

b) The fixed rental charge for the tool

c) The fee charged per hour for the tool

d)The total charge for the tool rental

Answer 1

Answer: C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: C) The fee charged per hour for the tool.

Step-by-step explanation:
The expression 20x + 60 represents how much you will pay for renting the tool for x amount of hours. $60 is the fixed rental charge for the tool, and you pay an additional $20 per hour you have the tool. So if you have the tool for 2 hours, you’d pay

20(2) + 60
= 40 + 60
= 100

$100 for two hour rental of that tool.

Hope this helps to clear things up.

Cheers.
