A trampoline park costs $12 for the first hour and $6 for each additional hour. Flynn pays $30 at the trampoline park. Select the equation that represents the given situation and find the number of additional hours Flynn stays at the trampoline park after the first hour.

Answer 1

Let's say Flynn stays at the trampoline park for x additional hours after the first hour.
Therefore, the total cost for x additional hours is 6x dollars.
The equation that represents the given situation is 12 + 6x = 30.
To solve this equation, subtract 12 from both sides: 6x = 18.
Next, divide both sides by 6: x = 3.
Therefore, Flynn stays at the trampoline park for 3 additional hours after the first hour. Answer: \boxed{3}.
