Gr. 7: Lesson 6.3 Write Two Step Equations

Speedy Boat Rental charges a $15 deposit fee plus $2 for each hour of use to rent a paddle boat.  Write an equation to find out how many hours, h, they rented the Boat if the total cost was $33.

• h = 2(9) + 15
• 33 = 15h + 2
• h = 15(9) + 2
• 33 = 2h + 15
