Answer:

The equation: 6 + 0.5x = 2 + 1x

How many hours till the cost is the same: 8 hours

What will the cost be: $10

Step-by-step explanation:

6 + 0.5x = 2 + 1x

subtract 0.5x from both sides

6 = 2 + 0.5x

subtract 2 from both sides

4 = 0.5x

divide both sides by 0.5

x = 8

Lets check our work:

Garage A:

6 + 0.5(8)

6 + 4 = 10

Garage B:

2 + 1(8)

2 + 8 = 10

After 8 hours the price for both garages will be equal at $10
