First, Divide by 3 on both sides.
So 3x=12 will turn to 3x/3=12/3
Which isolates the variable x and the answer: x= 4
PT = 15, and TB = 10
Take the 15 from PT, and add the 10 from TB. Which equals 25.
PB = 25
So, 25 is your answer.
Hope this helps! ☺

Answer: 6 hours
Step-by-step explanation: If you write an equation for this scenario it would be y = 12+3x. 12 is the starting value and x represents how many hours the bike is rented, therefore 3 dollars would be added to the initial 12 each hour. So if Lucy spent $30 then it would change to 30= 12+3x. Now you essentially just need to work backwards. Rearrange the equation and move 12 to the left of the equal sign to make 30-12=3x. Combine vairable to make 18=3x. Divide 3x by 3 to isolate x and divide 18 by 3 as well to make it even. This looks like 18/3=3x/3. Meaning it would end up as 6=x.
