T-tables and equations: word problem - 1
It costs $8 to rent a bicycle for the first hour. It costs $2 every hour after that.

Fill out a T-table for the cost of the first five hours.

*hour*	*cost*

Write an equation with variables for the relationship between hours ( $h$ ) and the cost ( $C$ ).
How much would it cost to rent a bicycle for 24 hours?
If someone paid a total of $26, how many hours did they rent a bicycle for?

T-tables and equations: word problem - 2
After the first month, seed A grew into a 2cm plant and continued to grow 5cm each month after that. Seed B grew to 6cm and continued to grow 3 cm each month after that.

Fill out a T-table for the cost of the first three months for both seeds.

*month*	*height_A*

*month*	*height_B*

Write an equation for each seed's growth, relating the number of months ( $m$ _A, $m$ _B) and the height ( $H$ _A, $H$ _B).
After 1 year, what is the height difference between the two plants?
When will each plant reach 42cm in height?
