The bowling lanes charge an hourly fee for bowling and $2 to rent shoes for the day. Gerry rented shoes and bowled for 2 hours and was charged $12 Which equation represents the cost, f(x), of bowling as a function of x, the number of hours of bowling?
O f(x) = 4x + 3
Of(x) = 2x + 2
Of(x) = 5x - 2
Of(x) = 5x + 2

d) f(x) = 5x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to identify the variables and how they fit into the equation. in this case we know that the equation is f(x) = mx + b where f(x) is the total cost, m is the hourly cost, x is the number of hours bowled, and b is the price of the shoes.

Now, we need to solve for the hourly cost, so to do this we plug in all the known information to get 12 = m(2) + 2

To solve we need to isolate the variable by first subtracting 2 on both sides to get 10 = m(2) and then dividing both sides by 2 to get 5 = m.

Finally, since we now know that the hourly cost is $5 we can plug this information back into the equation to get f(x) = 5x + 2
