Answer 1

answer: 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

I did this on a paper

Answer 2

6 Hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Linear Equation: mx+b=y

x variable: Hour

Hourly Fee: $15(x)

(Initial) Rent Fee: $25

Balance: $100

Equation:

15x+25=100

15x+25-25=100-25 -- Separate the constant terms from the x by subtracting 25 from both sides.

15x=100

15x/15=100/15 -- Isolate the x variable by dividing 15 from both sides.

x=6.6.. -- Round down to 6 (not 7) because you can't afford to snowboard for 7 hours with less than $15.

x=6 Hours
