A canoe rental shop charges a $5 fixed fee plus $6 an hour for renting a canoe. Steve paid $53 to rent a canoe. Which equation, when solved for x, gives the number of hours he rented the canoe?
A) 6x + 53 = 5
B) 6x − 53 = 5
C) 6x + 5 = 53
D) 6x − 5 = 53
C), cause you would subtract 5 from 53 in order to move it, and would get 6x=48. Then, you would divide by six on both sides, and the answer would be x=8, so Number C.
