Answer:
A = 14.2/1.1 hours
B = 5.091 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Formulate 2 simultaneous equations
5.7A + 6.8B = 111.40..........(1)
A +B =18...............................(2)
Multiply each item in (2) by 5.7 to get
5.7A + 5.7B = 97.2............(3)
subtract (1) - (3) on each side
5.7A -5.7A + 6.8B - 5.7B = 111.40 -97.2
1.1B = 14.2
B = 14.2 /1.1
to get A use equation (2)
A = 18 - B
A = 18 - 14.2/1.1 = 5.091
Five times the number x plus two

Lol do your own work. Pay attention in class, it'll pay off ;)
Answer 6 hours
Reason
7x + 9.50 = 55
-9.50. -9.50 subtract from both sides
_____________
7x = 45.50
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
X = 6.5
So he can rent for 6 hours (the .5 would be charged as a full hour per the problem)
