Question

Job has to pay $9.00 admission for the skating rink and $2 per to rent rollerblades how many hours can he skate for $19

Answer 1

5 hours

Explanation:

Here we can create an equation to solve for the number of hours (x) this man can skate for.

Since he has to pay a $9 flat fee, that will be a constant value or our y-intercept in this case.

Our equation will be y = 2x + 9

Since we know his budget is $19, we can set our equation equal to 19, or replace y in this case.

So now we have 19 = 2x +9

Now we need to subtract 9 from both sides to get 10 = 2x

Then we need to divide both sides by 2 to get 5 = x

So this man can skate for 5 hours considering his budget
