A bulldozer is rented at $800 per day plus a charge per hour of use. The bulldozer was used for 5 hours in one day, and the total charge was $3000.

Which equation can be used to find the charge \( x \), in dollars, per hour of use?

3,000 - 800 = 2,200 (additional charges)
800 + 5x = 3000 -800 -800
5x = 2,200
x = 2,200/5
x = 440

Total charge = $800 + extra charge $3000 = $800 + extra charge Extra charge = $2200
charge per hour = x
x = charge/hour x = 2200/5 ∗ ∗ x = 440 /hr**

The equation that can be used to find the hourly charge for the bulldozer is 800 + 5 x = 3000 , where x represents the hourly charge. Solving this equation shows that the charge per hour is $440. This equation allows us to understand how the overall cost is structured and how much each hour contributes to total charges.
