Problema Solution

Mountain Rental charges a $25 deposit plus $10 per hour to rent a bicycle. Write an equation that gives the cost 'y' to rent a bike for 'x' hours. Then write the ordered pairs for x=1/2, 5, and 8_1/2.

Answer provided by our tutors

y = 25 + 10x



x = 1/2


y = 25 + 10(1/2)


y = 30


(1/2, 30)



x = 5


y = 25 + 10*5


y = 75


(5, 75)



x = 8 1/2 = 17/2


y = 25 + 10*(17/2)


y = 25 + 85


y = 110


(8 1/2, 110)
