Ajet ski company charges a flat fee of $26 plus $3.25 per hour to rent a jet ski another company charges a fee of $24 plus $3.50 per hour to rent the same jet ski find number of hours for which the cost are the same round your number to the nearest whole hour

8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Company 1: 3.25x + 26

Company 2: 3.50x + 24

3.50x + 24 = 3.25x + 26

0.25x  +24 = 26        subtracted 3.25x from both sides

0.25x = 2            subtracted 24 from both sides

x = 8               divided both sides by 0.25

Check:

Company 1: 3.25x + 26  =  3.25(8) + 26  = $52

Company 2: 3.50x + 24  = 3.50(8) + 24  = $52

i found two solutions,   n = 2 • ± √3 = ± 3.4641
