Verified Answer :

c = 25 + 7h...c = 81
81 = 25 + 7h
81 - 25 = 7h
56 = 7h
56/7 = h
8 = h......so at 8 hrs, it will cost $ 81

Answer: 8 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The cost "c" (in dollars) of renting a paddle board for "h" hours is given by \(c=25+7h\)

Now, put the value of c= 81 in the given equation, then we have

\(81=25+7h\)

Subtract 25 on both sides , we get

\(7h=81-25\\\\\Rightarrow\ 7h=56\)

Now, divide 7 on the both sides , we get

\(h=8\)

Hence, the number of hours for the cost of $81 = 8
