at bike shop x it costs $2.75 per hour plus a $3.00 deposit to rent a bike. at bike shop z it costs $1.75 per hour plus a $7.00 deposit to rent a bike.
a.) write the system of equations that could be used to find c, the total cost for renting a bike for n hours at each shop.
b.) graph the system of equations.
c.) when would it cost less to rent a bike from bike shop x? explain.

at bike shop x it costs 275 per hour plus a 300 deposit to rent a bike at bike shop z it costs 175 per hour plus a 700 deposit to rent a bike a write the system class=

Respuesta :

Answer:

Multiply the rate per hour by the number of hours (n) and add the deposit.

A)

Bike shop x: c = 2.75n + 3.00

Bike shop z: c = 1.75n + 7.00

B) to find when they will cost the same set the equations equal to each other and solve for n:

2.75n + 3.00 = 1.75n + 7.00

Subtract 3 from each side:

2.75n = 1.75n + 4.00

Subtract 1.75n from both sides:

1.00n = 4.00

Divide both sides by 1:

n = 4 hours
