Willie rented a bike from venice bikes .it cost $18 plus $5 per hour. willie paid $48,solve for your equation algebraically

Total paid ($48) equals price per hour ($5) times the number of hours (x) plus $18 per hour.

x= number of hours

Equation:
$5x + $18= $48

Solve:
$5x + $18= $48
Subtract $18 from both sides
5x= 30
Divide both sides by 5
x= 6

Check:
Substitute x=6 in equation
$48= $5x + $18
48= 5(6)+18
48= 30+18
48=48

Hope this helps! :)
