Question

Kayla rented a boat. There was a one-time charge of $100 plus an hourly rate of $45. Her total cost for the day was $370. Which equation, when solved for x, gives the number of hours she rented the boat?

45x – 100 = 370

45x + 370 = 100

45x + 100 = 370

45x – 370 = 100
Explain how you got the answer please

Answer 1

the answer would be 45x + 100 = 370

45 is a rate that increases based on the variable that is unknown so it would be 45x

100 is only being added once so there is no variable needed

we know that 370 is the total number so the 45x and the 100 combined would equal 370
