Question

at a local farmers market a farmer pays $10 to rent a stall and $7 for every hour he stays there. if he pays $45 on saturday how many hours did he stay at the market

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

You first set up the equation

10 + 7x = 45

You must put x because you don't know the number of hours he stays

You then subtract 10 from both sides of the numbers 10 and 45

That'll get you 7x = 35

To find out what x is you divide both sides by 7

7x divided by 7 is x

35 divided by 7 is 5

X = 5
