Question

An ice skating rink has two ways you can use the facility. The first option is to pay $10 per visit. The second option is to pay $32 per month, and $6 per visit. Write and solve an equation to show the number of visits it would take for the cost of the two plans to be equal.

10x=32+6x ; x=4
10 x equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals 4

10x=32−6x ; x=2
10 x equals 32 minus 6 x ; x equals 2

10=32+6x ; x=−3
10 equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals negative 3

10x=32+6x ; x=8

Answer 1

10x = 32 + 6x

To find the number of visits (x) where the cost of the two plans is equal, we need to solve for x.

First, let's simplify the equation:

10x - 6x = 32

4x = 32

Now, let's isolate x by dividing both sides of the equation by 4:

x = 32/4

Simplifying further:

x = 8

Therefore, it would take 8 visits for the cost of the two plans to be equal.
