"Sum of 32 and 5 times a number " translates to:

(32 + 5) × n

Then, it says "is 17"

So, (32 + 5) × n = 17. Let's solve!

32 + 5 = 37

37 × n = 17

To find n, we just divide 17 by 37. However, that equates to a repeating decimal, so it is best to put the answer as:

$\frac{17}{37}$

On a beach trip, Lucy rents a bike from “Wheels by the Waves”, where they rent bikes for $12 plus $3 per hour. If Lucy spent $30

Paul [167]

Answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation: If you write an equation for this scenario it would be y = 12+3x. 12 is the starting value and x represents how many hours the bike is rented, therefore 3 dollars would be added to the initial 12 each hour. So if Lucy spent $30 then it would change to 30= 12+3x. Now you essentially just need to work backwards. Rearrange the equation and move 12 to the left of the equal sign to make 30-12=3x. Combine vairable to make 18=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to isolate x and divide 18 by 3 as well to make it even. This looks like 18/3=3x/3. Meaning it would end up as 6=x.
