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.

10x=32+6x ; x=8
10 x equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals 8

10=32+6x ; x=−3
10 equals 32 plus 6 x ; x equals negative 3

10x=32−6x ; x=2
10 x equals 32 minus 6 x ; x equals 2

10x=32+6x ; x=4

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

10x = 32 + 6x

Subtract 6x from both sides:
4x = 32
Divide by 4:
x = 8

It would take 8 visits for the cost of the two plans to be equal.
