Respuesta :

The linear equation is [tex]8+0.06x=19.94[/tex] and John rode the scooter for [tex]199[/tex] minutes.

Fee to start the scooter [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]8[/tex].

Fee to ride per minute [tex]= 6[/tex] cents [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]0.06[/tex].

Total bill [tex]=[/tex] $[tex]19.94[/tex].

Let [tex]x[/tex] be the minutes for which he rides the scooter.

The linear equation is formed as:

[tex]8+0.06x=19.94[/tex]

[tex]0.06x=19.94-8[/tex]

[tex]0.06x=11.94[/tex]

[tex]x=199[/tex] minutes.

So, John rode the scooter for [tex]199[/tex] minutes.
