A local gym charges nonmembers $10 per hour to use the tennis courts.
Members pay a yearly fee of $300 and $4 per hour for using the tennis
courts. Write an equation to find how many hours, h, you must
use the tennis courts to justify becoming a member.

PLEASE HELP
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
nonmembers:
Total Cost = 10h
Members:
Total Cost = 300 + 4h
Equate the two to get
10h = 300 + 4h
then solve for h to get your answer

I DONT NEED TO FIND H I NEED A EQUATION
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
your equation is 10h = 300 + 4h, and please try not to shout
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you would solve that for h to get the number of hours where the two costs are the same
anything after that is when the membership is cheaper

ok cool. Rewrite the equation so that y is a function of x:
3x + 5y = 15
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
you want to solve for y
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so you must move that 3x over
how do you do this?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
idk
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
3x + 5y = 15
is the same as
5y + 3x = 15
so you want to undo the +3x

how do you undo +3x ??
OpenStudy (anonymous):
i d k how to these problems at all
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
what's the opposite of addition
OpenStudy (anonymous):
subtraction.
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so you have to subtract 3x from both sides
