Question

if y is the total cost of the rental, then y - 93.75 = 12.5(x - 5.5) models the cost of renting a pedal - board for x hours. write an equation. type your answer in point - slope form. use integers or decimals for any numbers in the equation. do not include the $ symbol. you should rewrite the equation from the previous step so that y is isolated on one side. the value on the other side is then the service charge.

Explanation:

Step1: Expand the right - hand side

$y - 93.75=12.5x-12.5\times5.5$
$y - 93.75=12.5x - 68.75$

Step2: Isolate y

Add 93.75 to both sides of the equation.
$y=12.5x - 68.75+93.75$
$y = 12.5x+25$

The constant term when $y$ is isolated is the one - time service charge.

Answer:

25
