Hi,

a parking garage charges 2 for the first hour and 0.75 for every hour after that

Bill = .75(x-1) + $2   |x being the total time parked

The total parking bill was 6.50 how many hours was the car parked in the garage

 $6.50 = .75(x-1) + $2

  4.50/.75 = x-1

      6 = x-1

      7hr  = x

CHECKING our answer***

 .75*6 + $2 = $6.50
