You helped a friend move a short distance recently. The friend rented a truck for $15 an hour and rented a dolly for $5. Your friend payed a total of $80 for the rental. For how long did your friend rent the truck? (Is this equation right for this question? 15x + 5 = 80)

OpenStudy (mokeira):

i think you are right...i am assuming x stands for number of hours

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (texaschic101):

correct equation...good job...now just solve for x to find out how long it was rented for

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So, x = 5 right?

OpenStudy (texaschic101):
