The moores family paid $6 more for skate rentals than the cotters did. together the two families paid $30 for skate rentals. how many pairs of skates did the moores rent?

Moores Family Paid = 6 dollars mores for skate rental than the cotters did.
30 dollars = the total amount they paid for skate rentals.
Let Family Moore have the variable X
Let the Family Cotters have the variable Y
=> x = y + 6
=> y = 30 – 6 / 2
First, let’s solve the Y
=> Y – 30 – 6 / 2
=> Y = 24 / 2
=> y = 12
Now, let’s solve for X
=> X = y + 6
=> x = 12 + 6
=> X = 18
