Equation

An equation is an expression used to show the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let x represent the number of token for each ping pong and y represent the number of token for each pinball.

Miguel played 9 games of ping pong and 5 games of pinball, using a total of 29 tokens, hence:

  • 9x + 5y = 29   (1)

Javier played 3 games of ping pong and 1 game of pinball, using up 7 tokens.

  • 3x + y = 7    (2)

From equation 1 and 2:

x = 1, y = 4

Each ping pong game require 1 token while each pinball game require 4 tokens.
