Answer:
First dropbox: 7h + 43 = 64
Second dropbox: $3
Explanation:
Here's what we know about the question so far:
$43 is the initial fee
The rototiller worked for 7 hours
$64 is the total cost (including initial fee)
h = hourly fee
The answer should be 7h + 43 = 64 because:
- It includes the initial fee of $43
- It sets the equation equal to $64, which is the total cost
- The hourly fee is being multiplied with 7 hours, which is correct since the h variable is hourly (not sure how to explain this part ;w; )
For the 2nd drop box, we will use basic algebra to solve for h:
7h + 43 = 64
(subtract both sides by 43)
7h = 21
(divide both sides by 7)
h = 3
There's your 2 answers!
