Question

Maria is renting kayaks from a local shop that charges a $10 fee, plus an hourly rate of $7. 50. For how long can maria rent the kayak if she pays a total of $70?.

Answer 1

Answer:
8 hours
Explanation:
We can use an algebraic equation to solve this problem.
7.5x + 10 = 70
7.5x + 10 (-10) = 70 (-10)
7.5x (7.5)= 60 (17.5)
x = 8

Answer 2

8 hours

Explanation:

We can use an algebraic equation to solve this problem.

7.5x + 10 = 70

7.5x + 10 (-10) = 70 (-10)

7.5x (/7.5)= 60 (/7.5)

x = 8
