Answer:
<h2><em><u>
2/9 is the answer.</u></em></h2>
Step-by-step explanation:
<em><u>1. First, make an equation.</u></em>
<em><u>Given:</u></em>
8/9 = length of wire
2/3 = length of a part of the wire
E = 8/9-2/3
<em><u>Unknown:</u></em>
Second part of wire
<em><u>2. Make the numbers have equal denominators</u></em>
2/3 * 3/3
= 6/9
<em><u>3. Solve</u></em>
8/9 - 6/9
= 2/9

Distribute
2z-1=z+8-2z
add like terms
2z-1=-z+8
add z to both sides
3z-1=8
add 1 to both sides
3z=9
divide both sides by 3
z=3
Answer 6 hours
Reason
7x + 9.50 = 55
-9.50. -9.50 subtract from both sides
_____________
7x = 45.50
Divide both sides by 7 to isolate x
X = 6.5
So he can rent for 6 hours (the .5 would be charged as a full hour per the problem)
