Question

It costs $35 per hour to rent a boat at the lake. You also need to pay a $25 fee for safety equipment. You have $200. For how long can you rent the boat?

Answer 1

Answer:

X= 5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

X= hours. It coast $25 for safety (so its noy by the hour). this is how you write the problem out -> 35x+25=200. You do 200-25 ( to get rid of the 25) which is 175 now you have 35x=175. Now you just have to divide 175 by 35 to get the x alone which is 5. So x=5 hours. They can rent the boat for 5 hours. Hope it helped.
