Question

Shawn and Dorian rented bikes from two different rental shops. The prices in dollars, y, of renting bikes from the two different shops for x hours is shown. Shop Shawn used: y=10+3.5x Shop Dorian used: y=6x If Shawn and Dorian each rented bikes for the same number of hours and each paid the same price, how much did each pay for the rental? Round to the nearest dollar if necessary. 3 4 14 24

Answer 1

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are given the information that

Shop Shawn used: y=10+3.5x while Shop Dorian used: y=6x.

To solve the question asked, we need to equate both equations together and this will be:

10 + 3.5x = 6x

6x - 3.5x = 10

2.5x = 10

x = 10/2.5

x = 4

Therefore, we can put the value of x into any of the equation to get y. This will be:

y = 6x

y = 6 × 4

y = 24

The amount paid for the rentals is 24
