Question

A dance instructor charges $20 to sign up for the class and a rate of $16 an hour for the lessons. You end up spending $220 on all of your hours of dancing. Write the equation that represents this situation. You can use X or H for hours.

Answer 1

`x =12.5`

Explanation:

20 + 16x = 220

Solve the equation

20 + 16x = 220

16x = 220 -20

16x = 200

Divide both sides by 16

x = 12.5
