Answer:

figure skates will be $1 cheaper.

Explanation:

given equation:

  • to rent figure skates : f(x) = 1.50x + 2
  • to rent hockey skates : h(x) = 2x +1.5

solve for rent of figure skates:

f(x) = 1.50x + 2.00

f(3) = 1.50(3) + 2.00

f(3) = 6.5

solve for rent of hockey skates:

h(x) = 2x + 1.5

h(3) = 2(3) +1.5

h(3) = 7.5

cheaper - figure skates than hockey skates:

$7.5 - $6.5

$1
