The cost of renting a canoe to use on River Y costs $38. The cost of renting a canoe to use on River Z costs $4 per hour plus a $14 deposit. The total cost, c, of renting a canoe on either river for n hours can be represented by an equation. Write and graph a system to find how many hours you have to rent a canoe for the cost to be the same on both rivers.

see the attachment

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost for River Y is a constant (not dependent upon hours), so is c = 41.

The cost for River Z is the sum of the deposit and the hourly cost, so is ...

 c = 13+4n

These equations and their graphs are shown in the attachment. The graphs cross where n=7, indicating you have to rent a canoe for 7 hours for the cost to be the same on both rivers.

3 is greater then both of those numbers

the simplified form is

step-by-step explanation:

we want to simplify the expression,

let us change the middle bar to a normal division sign to obtain,

we multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction to obtain,

we factor to obtain,

we cancel the common factors to get,

we simplify to get,

the correct answer is b
