Answer:
6 Hours
Explanation:
Linear Equation: mx+b=y
x variable: Hour
Hourly Fee: $15(x)
(Initial) Rent Fee: $25
Balance: $100
Equation:
15x+25=100
15x+25-25=100-25 -- Separate the constant terms from the x by subtracting 25 from both sides.
15x=100
15x/15=100/15 -- Isolate the x variable by dividing 15 from both sides.
x=6.6.. -- Round down to 6 (not 7) because you can't afford to snowboard for 7 hours with less than $15.
x=6 Hours
