So, We Need To Write An Equation. Lets Make Some Variables.
Max Amount He Can Spend: X
Max Amount Of Hours: H
Cost Per hour: P
Deposit : D
So, Lets Start.
We Can Write:
H = (X - D) / P
Now, Just Plug In The Known Values.
H = (30 - 15) / 3
That Is Our Equation.
Now, Just For Fun, I Will Solve It.
So, We Need To Simplify.
30 - 15 = 15.
So, We Have:
H = 15/3
So, We Know:
15/3 = 5.
So, We Can Substitute 5 for 15/3.
We Get:
H = 5
So, He Can Canoe For 5 Hours.
The answer is negative -2 so im going to go with D
The y-intercept is 60 so say you start with 60 apples. And the x-intercept is 5 so lets say you eat them all in 5 days. So the equation would look somthing like this

and would end up having a word problem that says somthing like "Jimmy has 60 apples and eats 12 a day how many days go by before Jonny has no more apples ?"
Answer:
Use Distributive Property.
Step-by-step explanation:
Multiply 3 times -4x to equal -12x
Multiply 3 times (+8) to equal 24
-12x + 24 =
Subtract 24 from each side
-12x + 24 -24 = -24
Divide both sides by -12
-12x/-12 = -24/-12
x = 2
