Answer:

Bunny Hill Ski Resort:

y = 10x + 35

Diamond Ski Resort:

y = 5x + 40

Point where the cost is the same:

(1, 45)

Step-by-step explanation:

The question tells us that:

$35 and $40 are initial fees

$10 and $5 are hourly fees

This means that x and y will equal:

x = number of hours

y = total cost of ski rental after a number of hours

So we can form these 2 equations:

y = 10x + 35

y = 5x + 40

Now we are going to use System of Equations to find what point the cost of both ski slopes is the same.

Because they both equal y, we can set the equations equal to each other:

10x + 35 = 5x + 40

And we use basic algebra to solve for x:

10x + 35 = 5x + 40

(subtract 5x from both sides)

5x + 35 = 40

(subtract 35 from both sides)

5x = 5

(divide both sides by 5)

x = 1

Remember, x equals the number of hours.

That means when your rent out the skis for 1 hour, you will get the same price of $45 (you find the price by plugging in 1 into both of the equations)
