x = # of hours the bike was rented.
$40 = $12 + $7x
Subtract $12 from both sides.
$28 = $7x
Divide both sides by $7
4 = x
Sandy rented the bike for 4 hours.

Answer:
x = 35°
Step-by-step explanation:
These are corresponding angles. When a transversal crosses 2 parallel lines, 4 angles are created at each intersection, and each pair of corresponding angles between those are congruent.
These angles are congruent, so you can set them equal to each other:

Then, just solve for x:

You can check that by plugging it back into both:

So we have an equation:
2w=12-4w
Firstly, let's simplify, and divide all terms by 2:
w=6-2w
Now, we add 2w over to the other side:
3w=6
And finally, we divide both sides by 3:
w=2
Hope this helps!
