Naheem is thinking of going canoeing with some of his pals this weekend. It costs $35 to rent the canoe and $3 per hour its rented. If Naheem has $50 total, how many hours can he afford?​

Hello! My name is Chris and I’ll be helping you with this problem.

Answer:

5 hours

Explanation:

Step 1: Set up an equation:

35 + 3x = 50

Step 2: Solve:

35 + 3x = 50 Subtract 35 from both sides

3x = 15 Divide 3 from both sides

x = 5

I hope this helped answer your question! Have a great rest of your day!
