Question

Oceanside Bike Rental Shop charges 12 dollars plus 6 dollars an hour for renting a bike. Write an expression for the cost of renting bikes for x hours.

Answer 1

Answer:

$y = 12 + 6x$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Base\ Amount = 12$

$Additional = 6$ per hour

Required

Determine the expression for the cost in x hours

Represent the cost with y

y is calculated using the following expression

$y = Base\ Amount + Additional * x$

Where x represent the number of hours.

Substitute values for the base amount of bike and the additional cost per hour

$y = 12 + 6 * x$

$y = 12 + 6x$

So, the expression to determine the cost of bike in x hours is: $y = 12 + 6x$
