Sagot :

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the hours Mary rented the bike.  Her total cost would be the sum of the $16 up-front service charge plus x (hours) times $6/hour, to account for the rental time.  We can write that as:

$16 +( $6/hr.)x = $66

16 + 6x = 66

6x = 50

x = (50/6) hours

x = (25/3) hours

x = 8 1/3 hours
