A bike rental costs $8 per hour. Desiree has a coupon for 2 free hours. To find how many hours she can rent with $40, Desiree sets up the equation 8(x – 2) = 40, where x is the number of hours.Drag equations into order show a way to solve for x

8x = 56
8x + 16 = 40
x = 3
8x = 24
x = 7
8x – 16 = 40
8(x – 2) = 40
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Choose which ones to use~

Answers

Answer:

The better buy is The denim shoppe!

Step-by-step explanation:

the denim shoppe price for 3 jeans is $56 and Jeans jam price of 3 jeans is $56.25! $56 < $56.25.

If Ava buys three pairs of jeans from Jeans Jam, it would cost her a total of $56.23. If Ava buys three pairs of jeans from The Denim Shoppe, it would cost her exactly $56. This means that The Denim Shoppe is a better buy...by 23 cents.

Please help!Bill and Ron build towers using blocks. The expression 4b + 2 represents the number of blocks Bill uses. The expression 8b – 5 represents the number of blocks Ron uses.

Complete the expression to represent the total number of blocks Bill and Ron use.

__ b - __

Answers

They use 9 blocks each, a total of 18 blocks.

Bill: 4b + 2
Ron: 8b - 5

To look for the value of b; I assume that both used the same number of blocks.

4b + 2 = 8b - 5
4b - 8b = -5 -2
-4b = -7
-4b/-4 = -7/-4
b = 1.75

Bill: 4b + 2 where b = 1.75 ; then, 4(1.75) + 2 = 7 + 2 = 9
Ron: 8b - 5 where b = 1.75; then, 8(1.75) -5 = 14 - 5 = 9
