Answer:
8 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
4 + 1.75x ≤ 18, where x = the number of hours
1.75x ≤ 18 - 4
1.75x ≤ 14
x ≤ 14/1.75
x ≤ 8 hours
Answer: he can rent the bike for at most 8 hours.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of hours that Vince can rent the bike without going over his budget.
The initial cost to rent a bike in hilton head is $4. Each hour the bike is rented costs $1.75. This means that the cost of renting the bike for x hours would be
1.75x + 4
Vince is going to rent a bike and can spend at most $18. The inequality is expressed as
1.75x + 4 ≤ 18
1.75x ≤ 18 - 4
1.75x ≤ 14
x ≤ 14/1.75
x ≤ 8
