At a park, the cost to rent a bike has an initial fee of $15.00 plus $7.50 per hour. Which equation models the relationship between total cost, y, and the number of hours, x, that the bike is rented?

y = 15 + 7.50x

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, At a park, the cost to rent a bike has an initial fee of $15.00 plus $7.50 per hour.

Let the number of hours is x and the total cost is y.

When the bike is rented for x hours, its cost will be 7.50x.

Total cost (y) in terms of number of hours is given by :

y = 15 + 7.50x

Hence, this is the required equation.

b: |12 – x| ≤ 0.25

step-by-step explanation:      

let x be the possible lengths in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.

we have been given that jaime is cutting strips of ribbon for a project. he tries to cut each piece to be 12 inches long, but sometimes he cuts it too long or too short by as much as 0.25 inch.  

we can represent this information in an inequality as:

by the definition of absolute value function we will get,

upon combining our inequalities we will get,

therefore, the inequality   describes all the possible lengths (x), in inches, of the ribbons jaime cut.
