Ajet ski company charges a flat fee of $24.00 plus $2.25 per hour to rent a jet ski. another company charges a fee of $23.00 plus $2.50 per hour to rent the same jet ski.

using a graphing calculator, find the number of hours for which the costs are the same. round your answer to the nearest whole hour. (1 point)
a• 9
b• 8
c• 4
d•3

The answer to this question would be: C• 4 hours
In this question, there are two jet ski companies with a different price. Each of them can be translated into an equation with x= hour of rent. The equation should be:
 
price1= 24 + 2.25 * x
price2= 23 + 2.5 * x

You are asked to find when did the rent cost of both company will be same, in another word, what x will give price1 = price2. Then the calculation would be:
price1 = price2
24 + 2.25 * x = 23 + 2.5 * x
24-23 = 2.5*x - 2.25*x
1= 0.25x
x=4

The answer is: y would equal 3 because if you simplify the equation then it would be y= 3x+9 and if you divide 3x and 9 by 3 it would equal 3. y= 3
