A rental company charges $15 plus $4 per hour to rent a bicycle. If Margie does not want to spend more than $27 for her rental, write and solve an inequality to find how many hours she can rent the bicycle and not spend more than $27. Interpret the solution.

is this part of a question or something

the answer should be a. snail

take the logarithm of both sides (the base of the log doesn't matter):

apply the exponent property - this says that :

distribute the log terms on both sides:

group like terms together:

divide through both sides by the coefficient on :

you can do some additional rewriting here using the properties of the logarithm to simplify things if you like:
