Answer 2

Explanation:

Assuming the same number of bowling and mini golf games are played, let x represent the total number of games played, either bowling or mini golf. let y represent the total cost of bowling. Let z represent the total cost of golfing

Bowling cost $2 to rent a club plus $5 per game. It means that the cost, y for x bowling games will be

y = 2 + 5x

Mini golf cost $5 to rent a club, plus $4 per game. It means that the cost, y for x mini golf games will be

z = 5 + 4x

For the total cost to be the same, we will equate both equations(y = zl

2 + 5x = 5 + 4x

5x - 4x = 5 - 2

x = 3

There would be 3 games before total cost would be the same
