Question

You want to take your family out on the lake in a boat. Motor Boats charges $60 for insurance/fuel and $20 per hour. If you have $180 to spend, how many hours can you spend on the boat in the lake?

Answer 1

6 hours

Explanation:

We can describe this situation using the equation,

20x + 60 = 180

x = hours you can spend on the lake

Now, we can just solve this equation to find the maximum amount of hours that you can spend on the lake:

20x = 120 Subtract 60 from 180

x = 6 Divide 120 by 20

So, the maximum amount of hours you can spend on the boat is 6 hours.

Hope this helps!! Ask questions if you need!

Answer 2

6 hours

Explanation:

This would be the function 20x+60=180
