The ice skating rink charges an hourly fee for skating and $3 to rent skates for the day. gillian rented skates and skated for 3 hours and was charged $21. which equation represents the cost, c(x), of ice skating as a function of x, the number of hours of skating?

C(x) = 6x + 3 (in USD)

Given:

Question:

The equation that represents cost, C(x), ice skating as a function of x, the number of hours of skating.

The Process:

We try solving a word problem about the single variable equation.

Step-1: calculate the cost of skates per hour.

Let the rate of using the skating rink be R per hour. We will seek the value of R.

On that day Gillian rented skating for 3 hours and paid $ 21. The equation that will determine this given by:

Both sides subtracted by 3.

We isolate R on the left side. Both sides are divided by 3.

Hence, the fee of skates per hour is

Step-2: determine the cost equation for ice skating

Let x as the number of hours of skating.

Recall the fee of skates per hour is $6 and the fee to rent is $3 for the day.

Thus, the equation which represents the cost of ice skating as a function of x, the number of hours of skating, will be given by:

(in USD)
