Answer:

B) 10 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of visits be x.

Pool A cost: 1x + 40 = x + 40

Pool B cost: 5x

Set the two costs equal and solve for x.

x + 40 = 5x

Subtract 5x from both sides. Subtract 40 from both sides.

-4x = -40

Divide both sides by -4.

x = 10

Answer: B) 10 visits
