Question

The cost to rent a scooter is $12

per hour plus a $40 flat fee. If your
final bill was $76 how many hours
did you rent the scooter for? Write
an equation to represent the
situation and then solve. HELP PLEASE

Answer 1

Y=mx+b

The equation is 76=12x+40

Answer is 3

Answer 2

Let h be the number of hours you rented the scooter for.

The cost of the scooter can be represented by the equation 12h + 40 = 76.

To solve for the number of hours, we can subtract 40 from both sides of the equation:

12h + 40 - 40 = 76 - 40

12h = 36

Then, we can divide both sides of the equation by 12:

(12h)/12 = 36/12

h = 3

Therefore, you rented the scooter for 3 hours.
