Rashida owns a bike rental company. She charges an initial fee of $10 for each rental and an hourly rate of $4. A customer paid $34 for a bike rental. Which of the equations below could be used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike?

`34 = 10 - 4x\\\\34 = 4 + 10x\\\\34 = 10 + 4x\\`

Answer:

`34 = 10 + 4x`

Explanation:

Given:

Amount customer paid = $34

Initial fee = $10

Hourly rate = $4

We need to write the equation used to find how many hours, x, the customer rented the bike.

Solution:

Let the number of hours customer rented the bike be 'x'.

Now we can say that;

Amount customer paid is equal to sum of Initial fee plus Hourly rate multiplied by number of hours customer rented the bike.

framing in equation form we get;

`34 =10+4x`

Hence The equation used to find number of hours customer rented the bike is
`34 =10+4x`.
