Question

Tom's Bike Rental charges $14 upfront, with an additional $3 per hour. Jerry's

Bike Rental charges $6 upfront, with an additional $5 per hour. After how many
hours wills the cost be the same for either company?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Tom: 14 + 3x = y

Jerry: 6 + 5x = y

Tom: X = 1 Y = 17 20 23 26

X = 2 Y = 20

X = 3 Y = 23

X = 4 Y = 26

Jerry: X = 1 Y = 11

X = 2 Y = 16

X = 3 Y = 21

X = 4 Y = 26

Therefore, after 4 hours of each they will both equal $26

Hope this helps :)
