3. Marilyn spent $125 for renting a bicycle while she was vacation. The rental consisted of a one-time payment of $50 and then $15 per day. Which equation can be used to find the number of days, d, she rented the bicycle?

HINT: Check where the variable of the situation should be.

1

125 = 50 + 15d

2

125 = 50d + 15

3

125 = 50 - 15d

4

125 = 50d - 15

5. A membership to 24 Hour-Fitness cost $35 per month with a $40 starting fee. A membership to Anytime Fitness cost $45 per month with a $25 starting fee. Which equation represents when and how much each membership will cost the same amount?

1

35x + 40 = 45x + 25

2

35x - 40 = 45x - 25

3

35 + 40x = 45 + 25x

4

35 - 40x = 45 - 25x
