Camden is deciding between two parking garages. Garage A charges an initial fee of

$12 to park plus $4 per hour. Garage B charges an initial fee of $8 to park plus $5 per
hour. Let A represent the amount Garage A would charge if Camden parks for t
hours, and let B represent the amount Garage B would charge if Camden parks for t
hours. Write an equation for each situation, in terms of t, and determine the hours
parked, t, that would make the cost of each garage the same.

Answer:

4 hours

Explanation:

A = 12 + 4t

B = 8 + 5t

12 + 4t = 8 + 5t

t = 4

The cost of each garage would be the same when Camden parked the car for 4 hours
