Answer:
4 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Cost of renting a bike at Oceanside Bike Rental Shop = 18 + 8x
Where,
x = number of hours for renting the bike
Alyssa paid 50 dollars to rent a bike.
How many hours did she pay to have the bike checked out ?
C = 18 + 8x
50 = 18 + 8x
Subtract 18 from both sides
50 - 18 = 18 + 8x - 18
32 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8
32 / 8 = 8x / 8
4 = x
x = 4 hours
