PLZ HELP!!!

A bike rental company charges a rental fee plus $8 per hour. If 6 hours costs $73, how much is the rental fee? Solve using an ALGEBRAIC EQUATION

Answer 1

The rental fee is 25

Explanation:

Total cost = rental fee plus cost per hours * number hours

t = f + 8*h where t = total cost, f = rental fee, h = hours

73 = f + 8*6

73 = f+ 48

Subtract 48 from each side

73 - 48 = f+48-48

25 = f

The rental fee is 25
