on saturday you bowl at mar vista bowl where renting shoes costs $2 and each game bowled is $3.50.on sunday you bowl at pinz where the shoe rental is $5 and each game bowled is $3.25 .if you spent the same amount each day how many games g, were bowled

Respuesta :

Answer:

Let x= number of games bowled.

Amount spent at Vista Bowl=2+3.5x

Amount spent at Pinz Bowl=5+3.25x

Setting these two equations equal to each other and solving for x will give you the number of games you can bowl to make the cost the same:

                             2+3.5x=5+3.25x             setting equations equal

                             3.5x-3.25x=5-2               combining like terms

                             0.25x=3                          simplify

                             (1/4)x=3                         changing decimal into a fraction

                             x=(3)(4)                         multiply both sides by 4 to isolate the x

                             x=12                              answer
