Question

Kylie is excited to learn how to ski. She went to Snowy Heights Mountain, rented a pair of skis for $35, and took 5 hours of group skiing lessons. Kylie paid $175 in all. How much does Snowy Heights charge for each hour of group skiing lessons?

Answer 1

Answer:

5x + 35 = 175

$28

Step-by-step explanation:

She paid 35 for 1 pair of skis. She paid a certain amount(x) for 5 hours (5x + 35). Therefor making the expression 5x + 35 = 175.

Then, solve the equation with inverse operations.

5x + 35 = 175

Step 1: Subtract 35 from both sides.

5x = 140

Step 2: Divide 5 from both sides.

x = 28

Therefore, Kylie paid $28 each hour of the group skiing lessons.
