You have $25 to park your car in a garage in the city. The garage charges $4 for the first hour and $3 for each additional hour. Write an equation & determine the possible number of hours you can park.

This is a repost from earlier. I thought it didn't go through so I typed it again.
4 + 3h = 25
Solve for h. Then add 1 to it.
To determine the possible number of hours you can park your car with $25, you need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's say the number of additional hours you park is 'x'. The equation will be:
Total cost = $4 + $3x
You have $25 to park your car, so the total cost should not exceed $25. Therefore, we can set up the inequality:
$4 + $3x ≤ $25
Now, let's solve this inequality to find the possible number of hours.
$3x ≤ $25 - $4
$3x ≤ $21
Divide both sides by 3:
x ≤ $21 / $3
x ≤ 7
So, the possible number of additional hours you can park your car is less than or equal to 7 hours.
