Hi! I need help with this question! 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 equation to represent the situation and solve it.

I tried to do it but I cant please help!!!!!!!!!!! p.s. Please explain it for me!! Thanks!

total cost = ski rental + (15 * ski hours)

95 = 35 + (15 * h) ... 60 = 15 h
I just finished the question and the answer is:
35+15=50
50+15=65
65+15=80
80+15=95
so the total hours were 4!
Have a good day!!!
