Question

Noah is planning a kayaking trip. Kayak Rental A charges a base fee of $15 plus $4.50 per hour. Kayak Rental B charges a base fee of $12.50 plus $5 per hour.

I need a system of equations please help.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Let x be the number of hours

Rental A charges:

Rate per hour = $4.50

Rate for x hours = 4.50x

Equation: 15 + 4.50x

Rental B charges:

Rate per hour = $ 5

Rate for x hours = 5x

Equation: 12.50 + 5x
