Question

Help me with math really quickly It costs $20 plus $1.50 per hour to rent a golf cart. a. Write an equation that shows the relationship between the cost of renting a golf cart (y) and

the number of hours it was rented (x). b. Graph your equation. Be sure to label your axis and chose an appropriate scale. c. How much does it cost to rent a cart for 5 hours? d. How many hours can you rent a cart for $32?

Answer 1

a) 1.50x + 20 = y

c) $27.5

d) 8 hours

Explanation:

a) 1.50 times x the amount of hours. 1.50 per hour. 1 hour would be 1.50 and 2 hours would be 3.00. Then just add 20 to that amount.

b) Don't really have time to graph, but here this is the graph using a graphing calculator. It intercepts at 20 because 20 is b, which is the y intercept.

c) Plug in 5 for x

d) Start with 1.50x + 20 = 32. You need to solve for x. Subtract 20 from both sides and you get 1.50x = 12. Divide both sides by 1.50 and you get x = 8. Since x representshe amount of hours, it would be x.
