Answer:

6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

We can describe this situation using the equation,

20x + 60 = 180

x = hours you can spend on the lake

Now, we can just solve this equation to find the maximum amount of hours that you can spend on the lake:

20x = 120                        Subtract 60 from 180

x = 6                                 Divide 120 by 20

So, the maximum amount of hours you can spend on the boat is 6 hours.
