    Answer: the hourly fee for the rototiller is $3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Let h represent the hourly fee for renting the rototiller.

    The rental company charged an initial fee of $43 with an additional fee per hour. Assuming that they rented the rototiller for x hours. This means that if they rented the rototiller for x hours, the total amount that they would pay is

    43 + hx

    If they paid $64 after renting the rototiller for 7 hours, the equation that models this problem would be

    43 + 7h = 64

    7h = 64 - 43 = 21

    h = 21/7 = $3
