Answer 2

Answer: 11. 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours Esmeralda rents the car.

According to the given statement , the expression for the total xepnediture on renting the car :-

$52+8x$

Since, she has $144 available to spend on a car rental such that

$52+8x=144$

To find x, first we subtract 52 from both the sides , we get

$8x=92\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=11.5$

Hence, the greatest number of hours which she rents the car = 11.5
