The problem states that the total cost is given by a fixed fee of $$ \$17 $$ plus an hourly charge of $$ \$6 $$ per hour. Let $$ h $$ be the number of hours Mary rented the bike. The cost equation is:

$$
17 + 6h = 47
$$

**Step 1: Isolate the term with $$ h $$**

Subtract 17 from both sides:

$$
6h = 47 - 17
$$

$$
6h = 30
$$

**Step 2: Solve for $$ h $$**

Divide both sides by 6:

$$
h = \frac{30}{6}
$$

$$
h = 5
$$

Mary checked out the bike for $$ 5 $$ hours.
Mary rented the bike for 5 hours.
