Question #892c8

Answer 1

`y=8x`

Explanation:

You want to start by finding `x`. `x` in this equation is the amount of money that it will cost to rent a tent for one day. You are told that it costs `$56` to rent a tent for `7` days.

If you divide both numbers by `7`, you will see that it costs `$8` to rent a tent for `1` day. You multiply the cost by the number of days you rent it. So `2` days would be `$16`, `3` days would be `$24` ... etc.

Therefore, the equation is

`y("cost")= 8("dollars") times x("days")`.

`y=8x`
