Question

victor wants to learn to snowboard. he went to snowy ridge mountain and rented a snowboard for $35, then took 5 hours of group snowboarding lessons. victor paid $175 in all. which equation can you use to find how much snowy ridge charges, x, for each hour of group snowboarding lessons? 5(x + 35) = 175 5x + 35 = 175 35(x + 5) = 175 35x + 5 = 175 how much does snowy ridge charge for each hour of group snowboarding lessons? $

Explanation:

First Sub - question (Equation Selection)

The total cost Victor paid is the sum of the snowboard rental cost and the cost of the group lessons. The snowboard rental is $35. The cost of the lessons is the number of hours (5) times the cost per hour (x), so the cost of lessons is $5x$. The total cost is $175. So the equation should be the rental cost plus the lesson cost equals the total cost, which is $5x + 35=175$.

Step 1: Start with the equation

We use the equation $5x + 35 = 175$. First, subtract 35 from both sides of the equation.
$5x+35 - 35=175 - 35$
$5x = 140$

Step 2: Solve for x

Divide both sides of the equation $5x = 140$ by 5.
$\frac{5x}{5}=\frac{140}{5}$
$x = 28$

Answer:

$5x + 35 = 175$
