Given:

Monthly fees for the local pool are $8 per month and $2 per visit.

Hector pays $34 in pool fees total for the month.

To find:

The number of times he visit the pool.

Solution:

We have,

Monthly fee of pool = $8

Additional fee = $2 per visit

Let Hector visit x times.

Additional fee for x times = $2x

Total fee = Monthly fee + Additional fee


34=8+2x


34-8=2x


26=2x

Divide both sides by 2.


(26)/(2)=x


13=x

Therefore, Hector visit the pool 13 times.
