Answer:
The expression is equal to 
Step-by-step explanation:
Let
x ----> the number of hours that the roller blades are rented
y ----> the cost of renting roller blades in dollars
we know that
The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

where
m is the slope or unit rate of the linear equation
b is the y-intercept or initial value of the linear equation
In this problem we have
The slope is equal to

The y-intercept is equal to
----> value of y when the value of x is equal to zero
substitute

For x=h hours
substitute

Combine the two equations in the right amounts to eliminate y :
-2 (2x + 3y) + (3x + 6y) = -2 (17) + 30
-4x - 6y + 3x + 6y = -34 + 30
-x = -4
x = 4
Solve for y :
2x + 3y = 17
8 + 3y = 17
3y = 9
y = 3
