Let's assume that Snowy Ridge charges x dollars for each hour of group snowboarding lessons.
The cost of renting a snowboard is $35.
The cost of group snowboarding lessons for 5 hours is 5x dollars.
So, the total cost Victor paid is $35 + 5x dollars.
According to the information given, Victor paid $175.
Therefore, we can write the equation as:
35 + 5x = 175
Victor wants to learn to snowboard. He went to Snowy Ridge Mountain and rented a snowboard for $35, then took 5 hours of group snowboarding lessons. Victor paid $175 in all.
