The ice skating rink charges an hourly fee for skating and $3 to rent skates for the day. Gillian rented skates and skated for 3 hours and charged $21. Which equation represents the cost, c(x), of the ice skating as a function of x, the number of hours of skating.

Respuesta :

Answer:

7 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

$21 divided by 3 equals 7 hours

Answer:

[tex]C(x)=6x+3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Rent of skates for day =$3

Gillian rented skates and skated for 3 hours and charged $21.

So, Total charge including rent = 21

So , Total charge excluding rent = 21-3=$18

So, charge for 3 hours = 18

So, Charge for 1 hour = [tex]\frac{18}{3} =6[/tex]

So, cost for x hours = 6x

So, total cost for x hours including rent = 6x +3

Let C(x) denotes the total cost

So, [tex]C(x)=6x+3[/tex]

Hence The equation represents the cost, c(x), of the ice skating as a function of x, the number of hours of skating is [tex]C(x)=6x+3[/tex]
