Brad's Skate Park: $10 to get into the park and $1.00 for every hour.

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the variables

Let the entry fee be c and the hourly rate be m

Let the number of hours be x and the total amount be y

Work to solve

For Sami's skate

[tex]c = 6[/tex] and [tex]m = 2[/tex]

For Brad's skate

[tex]c =10[/tex] and [tex]m = 1[/tex]

The equations

The equation is derived using: [tex]y = mx + c[/tex]

For Sami's skate

[tex]y = 2x + 6[/tex]

For Brad's skate

[tex]y = x + 10[/tex]

When the cost are the same

To do this, we equate both expressions

i.e.

[tex]y = y[/tex]

[tex]2x + 6 = x + 10[/tex]

[tex]2x -x = 10 - 6[/tex]

[tex]x = 4[/tex]

i.e. the cost are the same at the 4th hour

What is the cost

Substitute 4 for x in any of the equations

[tex]y = x + 10[/tex]

[tex]y = 4 + 10[/tex]

[tex]y = 14[/tex]

The cost is $14.00
