Question

12. L Jim and Carlos are renting Skateboards at the Skate Park. The graphs are shown below for each rental by Jim and Carlos. Rent Paid (dollars) 14 10 2 Carlos Jim 2 4 6 8 10 Hours 12 14 x After how many hours would the amount Jim and Carlos pay for the rentals be equal?​

Answer 1

8

Explanation:

It looks like the graphs show the amount of money paid by Jim and Carlos as a function of the number of hours they rent the skateboards. The x-axis shows the number of hours, and the y-axis shows the amount of money paid. From the graph, it appears that Jim and Carlos pay the same amount of money for the skateboard rentals after 8 hours. At this point, the line for Jim's payments and the line for Carlos's payments intersect, so the answer is {8}.
