15x + 50 = 10x + 75
In this equation, x represents the number of hours skied. To solve for x:
15x + 50 = 10x + 75
5x = 25
x = 5
Therefore, at 5 hours of skiing, the cost of both ski slopes is the same.
Black Diamond Ski Resort charges $50 for ski rental and $15 an hour to ski. Bunny Hill Ski Resort charges $75 for ski rental and $10 an hour to ski. Create an equation to determine at what point the cost of both ski slopes is the same.
15x − 75 = 10x − 50
15x − 50 = 10x − 75
15x + 50 = 10x + 75
15x + 75 = 10x + 50
