Answer 2

The flat rate will not have an x. The rate that increases based on the number of hours will have the x. The amount total paid will be on the other side of the equation.

Answer 3

i dont get it................

Answer 4

This is what they give us: \[?x + ? = ?\]
\[x = ?\]

Answer 5

Now which would most likely be to the left of the x? $12 or $5

Answer 6

12

Answer 7

Wait, no 5.

Answer 8

$12 is only a one-time payment to rent the horse for the day. $5 would be to the left because its $5 per hour (x = per hour).

Answer 9

Yes, $5 would be there

Answer 10

So now, substitute the $12 and the $5 into that equation.

Answer 11

done with that.

Answer 12

Can you show me what you did?

Answer 13

yes.......

Answer 14

That is correct, except you forgot the $37 at the end.

Answer 15

oh. ok done with that to.

Answer 16

Ok, now we need to solve the equation that we made: \[5x + 12 = 37\]
\[x = ?\]
Can you solve that ^

Answer 17

x = 5, because 5 times 5 = 25, and 25 + 12 = 37. :)
