Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Solving (a): What does h represents
From the instruction in the question, we understand Cycle city charges an additional 0.75 per hour.
This implies that h represents the additional hour of rentals
Solving (b): What does 15 represents
From the instruction in the question, we understand Cycle city charges an a base charge of $15
This implies that 15 represents the base charge
Solving (c): 0.75h
Referring back to (a) where h represents the additional hour of rentals
0.75h represents the total charges for the additional hour
You want to start this problem by handling the parentheses and distributing the 12.
So 16x > 12(2x - 6) - 24 would become...
So 16x > 24x - 72 - 24
Next you would combine like terms...
So 16x > 24x - 96
Then to get rid of the negative you would add 96 to both sides...
So 16x + 96 > 24x
After that you would subtract 16x from both sides...
96 > 8x
Lastly, divide by 8 to get x.
12 > x
So 16x > 12(2x - 6) - 24 would become...
So 16x > 24x - 72 - 24
Next you would combine like terms...
So 16x > 24x - 96
Then to get rid of the negative you would add 96 to both sides...
So 16x + 96 > 24x
After that you would subtract 16x from both sides...
96 > 8x
Lastly, divide by 8 to get x.
12 > x
