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. a. 10=32+6x ; x=−3 b. 10x=32+6x ; x=8 c. 10x=32−6x ; x=2 d. 10x=32+6x ; x=4

Answer 1

Set the costs equal: 10x = 32 + 6x.
Subtract 6x: 4x = 32.
Divide by 4: x = 8.

Answer: b.
