For the total costs to be the same a pair of skis must be rented for 3 hours.
Two shops rent pairs of skis for a rental fee plus a fee per hour.
Let, the number of hours must a pair of skis be rented = x
Equation for Shop A,
3 + 9x equation 1
Equation for Shop B,
9 + 6x equation 2
Total cost for Shop A and Shop B is same so we can equate equation 1 and equation 2 as mentioned below:
3 + 9x = 9 + 6x
3x = 6
x = 3
Thus we can write, for the total costs to be the same a pair of skis be rented for 3 hours.
