Answer:

  • 14 days

Step-by-step explanation:

New snowboard and boots for x days rent cost

  • 130.50 + 8.5x

Rent snowboards and boots for x days cost

  • 18.25x

If the costs are same, then:

  • 18.25x = 130.5 + 8.5x
  • 18.25x - 8.5x = 130.5
  • 9.75x = 130.5
  • x = 130.5/9.75
  • x = 13.38 or 14 days rounded to next integer
