A-1 rental charges $35 plus $6 per hour to rent a mini-loader, while BilJax charges $15 plus $8 per hour. What does the solution represent for this solution?

5 hours and rental would be 45

Step-by-step explanation:

15+6x=5+8x

15-5=8x-6x

10=2x

x=10/2

x=5

so in 5 hours rental would be

15 + 6*5= 45

5 + 8*5 =45

Hope that helps!:)

- "runner b is moving at a slower rate."

- "the graphs shown are graphs of distance(km) against time(min).

the slopes of this graphs are are given by:

slope = (change in y)/(change in x)

= (change in distance)/(change in time)

this is the formula for finding the speed. so, the slope of these graphs represent the speed of the runner.

taking each division in the graph to represent 1 on both axis:

runner a ⇒ speed = (2-0)/(1-0)

= 2/1

= 2 km/min

runner b ⇒ speed = (3-0)/(3-0)

= 3/3

= 1 km/min

this shows that   runner b is moving at a slower rate."

not sure but it may be b, as i said i'm not sure.
