a video store charges a one-time membership fee of $12.00 plus $1.50 per video rental. How many videos can Stewart rent if he spends $21

Question

translate the word problem into an algebraic equation 

Answer 1

Hy Nia,

 

 

Let x be the number of videos Stewart can rent.

 

21 = 12 + 1.50x

 

 

9 = 1.50x

 

x = 9/1.5

 

   = 6

 

 

Stewart can rent 6 videos if he spends $21. Good luck with the rest of your questions.

 

 

regards,
