Victor wants to learn to snowboard. He went to Snowy Ridge Mountain and rented a snowboard for $35, then took 5 hours of group snowboarding lessons. Victor paid $175 in all. Which equation can you use to find how much Snowy Ridge charges, x, for each hour of group snowboarding lessons?

5x + 35 = 175 35(x + 5) = 175 35x + 5 = 175 5(x+35) = 175

The correct equation to use is: 5x + 35 = 175.
