Question

of you rent a canoe for 3 hours you will pay $45 write a linear equation to represent the total cost of renting the canoe for x hours

Answer 1

We were told that if you rent a canoe for 3 hours you will pay $45, this means that the amount you will pay for renting the canoe for an hour is

45/3 = 15

Let x represent the number of hours and let y represent the total cost of renting the canoe for x hours. Thus, the linear equation to represent the total cost of renting the canoe for x hours​ is

y = 15x
