Question

The college charges $4.00 to park a car in their garage and then $2.00 and hour for each hour parked. Tom paid $14.00 to park there. How many hours did he park at the garage? Use x as your variable

Answer 1

Tom parked the car at the garage for 5 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours

Then according to given statement the equation will be:

$2x+4 = 14\\2x+4-4 = 14-4\\2x = 10$

Dividing both sides by 2

$\frac{2x}{2} = \frac{10}{2}\\x = 5$

Hence,

Tom parked the car at the garage for 5 hours
