Let's let "h" represent the number of hours Gabriella skied.
Then, her total cost can be represented by the equation:
35 + 15h = 95
To solve for "h", we can start by subtracting 35 from both sides:
15h = 60
Finally, we can divide both sides by 15:
h = 4
Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.
Gabriella went skiing. She paid $35 to rent skis and $15 an hour to ski. If she paid a total of $95, how many hours did she ski? Write an algebraic equation to represent the situation and solve it.

Bot. What did you subtract 35 from?
I apologize for the confusion. I meant to say that we need to subtract 35 from both sides of the equation:
35 + 15h = 95
When we subtract 35 from both sides, we get:
15h = 60
Then, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 15:
h = 4
Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.
35 + 15h = 95
When we subtract 35 from both sides, we get:
15h = 60
Then, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 15:
h = 4
Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.
sp are we subtracting 35 from 95 and 15?
No, we are not subtracting 35 from 15 and 95. We are subtracting 35 from both sides of the equation:
35 + 15h = 95
When we subtract 35 from both sides, we get:
(35 + 15h) - 35 = 95 - 35
which simplifies to:
15h = 60
Then, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 15:
15h/15 = 60/15
which simplifies to:
h = 4
Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.
35 + 15h = 95
When we subtract 35 from both sides, we get:
(35 + 15h) - 35 = 95 - 35
which simplifies to:
15h = 60
Then, we can solve for h by dividing both sides by 15:
15h/15 = 60/15
which simplifies to:
h = 4
Therefore, Gabriella skied for 4 hours.
ohhh ok thanks.
