She paid $35 to rent the skis but it costs 15 per hour to ski so our equation looks like....

$\Huge{35+15h}$ Now she paid a total of $95 so it would then be...

$\Huge{35+15h=95}$ To solve we would subtract 35 from both sides....

$\Huge{15h=60}$ in which you divide by 15 to get h by itself....

What do you divide by 15? @563blackghost

563blackghost · Answer

$\Huge{\frac{15h}{15}=\frac{60}{15}}$

So, 60/15 will be the final answer? @563blackghost
