Taylor owns a bike rental company. she charges an initial fee of $5 and an hourly rate of $4. write an equation below that shows the amount (y) that taylor charges for a bike rental that lasts (x) hours.

Which is the most efficient first step to solve x in the equation 3.7x - 18 = -4.3x -34 a. add 3.7x to both sides of the equation. b. add 4.3x to both sides of the equation. c. subtract 18 from both sides of the equation. d. subtract 34 from both sides of the equation.

Explain how you do each step what term makes it inconsistent y=2x - 4 ?

Solve: 3x+y=6 4x-2y=18 show all work !
