Gina wants to ride the waves at flagship pier in Galveston, so she rents a surfboard for $5 per hour plus an initial, or beginning, payment of $20. For how many hours can gina rent a surfboard if she has $90?



Answer :

We know that Gina has $90 to begin with.  But she has to pay $20 just to start surfing, and then $5 an hour.  So the equation would be: ($90-$20)/$5=14.  Therefore, Gina can rent a surfboard for 14 hours.

Gina can rent a surfboard for 14 hours if she has $90 if Gina wants to ride the waves at the flagship pier in Galveston, so she rents a surfboard for $5 per hour plus an initial.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

It is given that:

Gina wants to ride the waves at the flagship pier in Galveston, so she rents a surfboard for $5 per hour plus an initial, or beginning, payment of $20.

The amount GIna has = $90

Let x be the number of hours GIna can rent a surfboard.

The linear equation can be framed in one variable:

5x = 90 - 20

5x = 70

Divide by 5 on both side:

5x/5 = 70/5

x = 14

Thus, Gina can rent a surfboard for 14 hours if she has $90 if Gina wants to ride the waves at the flagship pier in Galveston, so she rents a surfboard for $5 per hour plus an initial.
