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.(1 point)

Let x represent the number of visits.

Cost of first option: 10x
Cost of second option: 32 + 6x

To find the number of visits where the cost of both options is equal, we set the two costs equal to each other:

10x = 32 + 6x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
4x = 32

Divide by 4:
x = 8

It would take 8 visits for the cost of the two plans to be equal.
