A boat rental company has two kinds of boats, rowboats and motorboats. The expressions below represent the cost, in dollars, for renting each kind of boat for x number of hours. Cost of a rowboat rental: 8.5x+3
Cost of motorboat rental: 17.50x+25
Which expression shows how many more dollars it costs to rent a motorboat than a rowboat for x hours?

A. 8x+22
B. 9x+22
C. 9x+28
D. 26x+28

answer: 21$

step-by-step explanation:

$42 / $14 = 3   (ratio 3: 1)

$7 x 3 = $21

x=-2

infinite number of lines, so there is an infinite number of equations.

step-by-step explanation:

there are an infinite number of line that passes through the point (-2,5)

x=-2   is one line that passes through the point

y = 5 is another line that passes through the point

(these two lines are perpendicular to each other).

since the number of   numbers are infinite and the slope is the ratio of two numbers,(change in y over change in x) we can have an infinite number of slopes.     our only condition is that it passes through the point (-2,5)

if x = 1, then the answer is 3.5
