Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges a sixteen-dollar fee plus six dollars an hour for renting a bike. Jessica paid seventy dollars to rent a bike. How many hours did she pay to have the bike checked out?​

Answer:

9 hours

Explanation:

ok so you first translate it into proper form

the proper form is 16 + 6h = 70 h is for hours

so minus 16 from both sides

16 + 6h = 70

-16 -16

now its 6x = 54

so now divide both sides by 6

6x/6 = 54/6

so its now x = 9

so she checked it out for 9 hours.
