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
225/5 = 45
This means the parents gave her five dollars forty five times. If they gave her a five every time she saved one dollar, you just have to multiply the money she saved each time and the number of times she saved it, and you'll get the answer.
Wendy saved $45 by herself
Substitute each value of x in y=2x-3
so,
first box (-2)
y= 2(-2)-3
y= -4-3
y= -7
second box (0)
y= 2(0)-3
y= 0-3
y= -3
third box (3)
y=2(3)-3
y=6-3
y=3
