During his vacation, Dalyn rents a small boat from a rental service that charges a flat fee of $40 plus $20 per hour (including taxes).
The total charge comes to $120. Which equation can be used to calculate the number of hours, a, that Dalyn rents the boat?

Respuesta :

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can calculate this using the y=mx+c formula

y=total charge

m=per hour

x = (a) no. of hours

c= flat fee

y=20x+40

120=20x+40

We then solve like a normal equation

120-40=20x+40-40

80/20=20x/20

x=a

a=4

∴ Dalyn rents the boat for 4 hours
