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. Responses 10x=32+6x ; x=8 10 x equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals 8 10x=32+6x ; x=4 10 x equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals 4 10=32+6x ; x=−3 10 equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals negative 3 10x=32−6x ; x=2

Answer 1

The correct equation is:
10x = 32 + 6x

Solving for x:
10x - 6x = 32
4x = 32
x = 8

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