a. The given information is:

-The cost of airsoft is $18.99 each hour

- The cost of equipment rental is $5.99

Let h represent hours, then the equation that represents the word problem is:

$\begin{gathered} A=18.99*h+5.99 \\ A=18.99h+5.99 \end{gathered}$

Where A is the cost to play airsoft.

b. The given information is:

-Paintball costs 35 each hour

-There is no rental fee

P is the cost to play paintball and h represents hours.

The equation that represents the word problem is:

$\begin{gathered} P=35*h \\ P=35h \end{gathered}$
