Question

Anny’s Bikes rents bikes for $10 plus $4 per hour. Janice paid $30 to rent a bike.

Write an equation that models the situation above. Use the variable "x" to create the equation.

Answer 1

Janice rented the bike for 5 hours.

Explanation:

The equation used to model this problem is 10 + 4x = 30. Subtract 10 from both sides. You are now left with 4x = 20. Divide both sides by 4. Now you have x = 5. This answer results in the conclusion that Janice spent 5 hours with the bike.

Answer 2

`30 = 10 + 4x`
