Question

Mateo rented a bike for $37. It costs $4 per hour, h, with an automatic charge of $13 to rent the bike. Which equation can be used to find out the number of hours, h, Mateo rented the bike? (1 point) Responses 4h+13=37 4 h plus 13 is equal to 37 4h+37=13 4 h plus 37 is equal to 13 4h−13=37 4 h minus 13 is equal to 37 4h−37=13

Answer 1

To find the number of hours \( h \) Mateo rented the bike, we can set up the equation based on the total cost of renting the bike. The total cost consists of a base charge of $13 plus $4 for each hour that the bike is rented. The total amount he paid is $37.

So we can write the equation as:

\[
4h + 13 = 37
\]

Therefore, the correct choice is:

**4h + 13 = 37**.
