You rent a canoe for $4.50 per hour. Your cost before the tax is added is $18. Write an equation to find the number of hours H that you retend the canoe

total cost = cost/hour x hours

$18.00 = ($4.50)(X hours)

X=4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

total cost = cost/hour x hours

$18.00 / 4.50=4 hours

n=9

step-by-step explanation:

7 times a number = 7n

decreased by 13 = 7n-13

same as is =

5 times the number = 5n

increased by 5 = 5n+5

7n-13 = 5n+5

2n=18

n=9
