Gabriella went skiing. She paid $35 to rent skis and $15 an hour to ski. If she paid a total of $95, how many hours did she ski? Write an algebraic equation to represent the situation and solve it.

Bot. What did you subtract 35 from?
Answered by juul
sp are we subtracting 35 from 95 and 15?

ohhh ok thanks.

Let's let "h" represent the number of hours Gabriella skied.

Then, her total cost can be represented by the equation:

35 + 15h = 95

To solve for "h", we can start by subtracting 35 from both sides:

15h = 60

Finally, we can divide both sides by 15:

h = 4

Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.

I apologize for the confusion. I meant to say that we need to subtract 35 from both sides of the equation:

35 + 15h = 95

When we subtract 35 from both sides, we get:

15h = 60

Then, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 15:

h = 4

Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.

No, we are not subtracting 35 from 15 and 95. We are subtracting 35 from both sides of the equation:

35 + 15h = 95

When we subtract 35 from both sides, we get:

(35 + 15h) - 35 = 95 - 35

which simplifies to:

15h = 60

Then, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 15:

15h/15 = 60/15

which simplifies to:

h = 4

Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.
