Valentina is trying to decide whether to join her school's swim team. During the summer, the team practices 4 days per week. Each of those days, they practice for 3 hours in the morning and practice again in the afternoon. They practice for a total of 20 hours each week.Which equation can you use to find h, the length of each afternoon practice in hours?3(h+4)=204(h+3)=203h+4=204h+3=20How long is each afternoon practice?
Q. Valentina is trying to decide whether to join her school's swim team. During the summer, the team practices 4 days per week.

Question Prompt: Question Prompt: How long is each afternoon practice for Valentina if she joins the swim team?
Identify Equation: Identify the correct equation to use. Since the total weekly practice hours are 20, and they practice 4 days a week, the equation that correctly represents the situation is 4(h+3)=20, where h is the length of each afternoon practice.
Solve Equation: Solve the equation 4(h+3)=20. First, divide both sides by 4 to isolate (h+3). 44(h+3)=420h+3=5
Subtract to Find h: Subtract 3 from both sides to solve for h.h+3−3=5−3h=2
