Question

The cost of renting a canoe to use on the Humuya River is $31. The cost of renting a canoe to use on the Comayagua River is $5 per hour plus an $11 deposit. The total cost, y, of renting a canoe on any of the rivers for x hours can be represented by an equation

Answer 1

y = 5x = 42

Explanation:

Humuya River: y = 31

Comayagua River: y = 5x + 11

Cost of renting a canoe on all of the rivers: y = 5x + 11 + 31

y = 5x = 42
