Question

the cost of renting a canoe to use on river y costs $35. the cost of renting a canoe to use on river z costs $4 per hour plus a $11 deposit. the total cost, c, of renting a canoe on either river for n hours can be represented by an equation. write and graph a system to find how many hours you have to rent a canoe for the cost to be the same on both rivers.
river z: $c = 4n + 11$
c. river y: $c = 4n + 11$
river z: $c = 35$
d. river y: $c = 35$
river z: $c = 4n - 11$

Explanation:

Step1: Define cost equations

River Y: $c = 35$; River Z: $c = 4h + 11$

Step2: Set equations equal

$35 = 4h + 11$

Step3: Solve for h

$4h = 35 - 11 = 24$ → $h = \frac{24}{4} = 6$

Answer:

6 hours
