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. Show your Work.

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

to understand thisyou need to know about:inequalityinequality word problemssolving word problemslet's create the inequality:

let's every hour be x

first condition

A rental company charges $15

therefore,

15

plus $4 per hour to rent a bicycle.

therefore

15+4x (as per our is x)

last condition

Margie does not want to spend more than $27 for her rental,

therefore,

15+4x≤27 (≤ is because as it says"does not want to spend more than $27"

let's solve:

few things about solving inequality

the direction of the inequality won't change

if

Add (or subtract) a number from both sidesMultiply (or divide) both sides by a positive numberSimplify a side

the direction of inequality will change

if

Multiply (or divide) both sides by a negative numberSwapping left and right hand sides
