Question

The cost of renting a canoe to use on River Y costs ​$23. The cost of renting a canoe to use on River Z costs ​$2 per hour plus a ​$13 deposit. The total​ cost, c, of renting a canoe on either river for n hours can be represented by an equation. Write and graph a system to find how many hours you have to rent a canoe for the cost to be the same on both rivers.

Answer 1

Answer:

• Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

You have it right on the picture:

The equations are:

• c = 23

and

• c = 2n + 13

The intersection of two lines is the solution of the system, which is:

• 2n + 13 = 23
• 2n = 10
• n = 5

The point is (5, 23) at which both rentals are same
