Answer:

x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying 5x + -7 = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 2x + 8 Reorder the terms: -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving -7 + 5x = 8 + 2x Solving for variable 'x'. Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right. Add '-2x' to each side of the equation. -7 + 5x + -2x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 5x + -2x = 3x -7 + 3x = 8 + 2x + -2x Combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0 -7 + 3x = 8 + 0 -7 + 3x = 8 Add '7' to each side of the equation. -7 + 7 + 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: -7 + 7 = 0 0 + 3x = 8 + 7 3x = 8 + 7 Combine like terms: 8 + 7 = 15 3x = 15 Divide each side by '3'. x = 5 Simplifying x = 5

Arturiano [62]
Using the equation y=6x+12, where x is the number of hours and y is the total cost for the given value of x, you can plug in 42 for y and solve:

42=6x+12
42-12=6x
30/6=x
5=x

Thus, Amy can rent the bike for 5 hours.
