tom's bike rental charges $14 upfront, with an additional $3 per hour. jerry's
bike rental charges $6 upfront, with an additional $5 per hour. after how many
hours wills the cost be the same for either company?

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom: 14 + 3x = y

Jerry: 6 + 5x = y

Tom: X = 1 Y = 17 20 23 26

        X = 2 Y = 20

        X = 3 Y = 23

        X = 4 Y = 26

Jerry: X = 1 Y = 11

         X = 2 Y = 16

         X = 3 Y = 21

         X = 4 Y = 26

Therefore, after 4 hours of each they will both equal $26

Hope this helps :)

2 and 1.

step-by-step explanation:

plug in each answer. 0 doesn't work, 1 does. so does 2. 4 doesn't:

0 = 1 is not true.

2 = 2 is true.

4 = 4 is true.

8 = 16 is not true.

hope this !
