Question

With the return of the $8 deopsite, the total rental fee came to $8 less that 2 times the hourly rate answer

Answer 1

$8

Explanation:

Let the hourly rentals be x

Let the total fee be y

Initial Deposit $8

The expression for the total is given as

y= 8+x

But y= 2x-8

Therefore

2x-=8+x

Collect like terms

2x-x=8

x=8

Hence the hourly rate is $8
