two snow resorts offer private lessons to their customers. Big Time Ski Mountain charges $5 per hour plus $50 insurance. Powder Hills charges $30 per hour plus $10 insurance. for what number of hours is the cost of lessons the same for each resort?
5h + 50 = 30h + 10 where h is the hours to equalize the costs....
Subtract 5h, 10 from both sides
40 = 25h
Divide both sides by 25
40/25 = h = 8/5 hrs
how would i write this in (x,y) form
In (x, y) form we would have
5(8/5) + 50 = 58
So, we would have
(8/5, 58)
