Seaside Bike Shop rents bikes for $10 plus $4 per hour. Jack paid $30 to rent a bike. Which equation, when solved for x, gives the
number of hours he rented the bike?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 hr

Step-by-step explanation:

totalcost(x) = $10 + ($4/hr)x = $30

Solve this for x.  Start by subtracting $10 from boths sides, obtaining:

($4/hr)x = $30 - $10, or

($4/hr)x = $20

Dividing both sides by ($4/hr), we get x = ($20) / ($4/hr)  = 5 hr
