Question

Jake’s Kayaks for Rent charges $12 to rent a kayak plus an additional $3 per hour. Which equation models this situation?

Answer 1

y = 3x + 12

Explanation:

I'm not sure what variable they use, but you can substitute any in for y and x.

For example, it can also be c = 3h + 12

The word per links the amount to the variable. You have to pay the $12 no matter what so that is why it doesn't have the variable and is the constant.
