  3.   At the annual Fall Festival, Jamal wants to rent a canoe for a trip down the Kaskaskia River. A boat shop in town rents canoes for $10 plus $3 per hour. Write a rule for calculating the cost for renting the canoe. Use h to represent the number of hours the canoe is in use and c to represent the cost.

    Hint

  4.   In a basketball game, the number of points scored for a team consists of two-point field goals, three-point field goals, and (one-point) free throws. If x represents two-point field goals, y represents three-point field goals, z represents free throws, and p represents the total number of points, write a rule for calculating the total points scored in the game.
    A. p = 2x + 3y + z B. p = 2x – 3yz
    C. p = x + 2y + 3z D. p = 2x + 3yz
    Hint

  5.   Find the missing step in the explanation of a Think of a Number trick.
   
    A. 5(n + 6) = 5n + 11 B. 5(n + 6) = 5n + 30
