Answer:

4 hours      

Step-by-step explanation:

Big time ski mountain charges $5 per hour plus $50 insurance.

Powder hills charges $10 per hour plus $30 insurance.

Let the number of hours be x.

For big time ski mountain, it means the total cost of x hours of lesson is:

[tex]B=50+5(x)\\B=50+5x[/tex]

For powder hills , it means the total cost of x hours of lesson is:

[tex]P=30+10(x)\\P=30+10x\\[/tex]

We  need to equate both equations to find the time that the costs would be the same.

That is :

[tex]50+5x=30+10x[/tex]

Collect like terms:

[tex]10x-5=50-30\\5x=20[/tex]

Divide through by 5:

[tex]x=\frac{20}{5} \\x=4 hours[/tex]

It would take 4 hours for the cost of the lessons to be the same.
