Answer:
Multiply the rate per hour by the number of hours (n) and add the deposit.
A)
Bike shop x: c = 2.75n + 3.00
Bike shop z: c = 1.75n + 7.00
B) to find when they will cost the same set the equations equal to each other and solve for n:
2.75n + 3.00 = 1.75n + 7.00
Subtract 3 from each side:
2.75n = 1.75n + 4.00
Subtract 1.75n from both sides:
1.00n = 4.00
Divide both sides by 1:
n = 4 hours
I believe it is option choice A, because that is the most reasonable and efficient
Step-by-step explanation:

1.5-6-12n. 1-12n
2.-4+40x-35. -39+40x
3.-36x+6+6. 12-36x
4.40n-32+8n. 48n-32
5.7n-28-6. 34-7n
6.-16+20x+3x 23x-16
7. -2n-16+8. -2n-8
8.25b-25-1. 25b-26
9.-4n+15-6n. -10n+15
-1-3x+6. -3x+5
Let number of Adult ticket be x
and number of Child ticket be y
so
$282 = $24x + $18y.
