Abike shop rents mountain bikes for a $4.004.00 insurance charge plus $2.502.50 for each hour. for how many hours can a person rent a bike with $17.75?

the person can rent the bike for 5.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of hours that a person rents the bike.

Let y represent the total cost of renting the bike for x hours.

A bike shop rents mountain bikes for a $4.00 insurance charge plus $2.50 for each hour. This means that the expression for the total cost of renting the bike for x hours would be

y = 2.5x + 4

Therefore, if a person has $17.75, the number of hours for which he can rent the bike would be

17.75 = 2.5x + 4

2.5x + 4 = 17.75

2.5x = 17.75 - 4

2.5x = 13.75

x = 13.75/2.5

x = 5.5 hours

there has been genes found in the x chromosome of males that have been linked to [homo/hetero]sexuality. in addition to the reign of the x chromosome, a section of chromosome 8 has also been link to, "alot of ppl are so " these facts were proven true after a 2014 study of a gay male and his strait brother. according to newscientist.com,"chromosome 14 and is mainly active in the thyroid, but also the brain. called tshr, it makes a type of receptor protein that recognises and binds to a hormone that stimulates the thyroid. in this way, the gene plays an important role in controlling thyroid function. the fact that tshr seems to be involved in sexual orientation fits with evidence that thyroid function seems to be linked to sexuality."

in conclusion, "ppl are so gay" due to their genetics.
