Given

She paid $3 to rent shoes and $ 4.75 for each game of bowling.

she spend a total of $42

How many games did shakira bowl.

To proof

let the number of games shakira did bowl = x

paid $3 to rent shoes and $ 4.75 for each game of bowling

she spend a total = $42

Than the equation is become in the form


x * 4.75 + 3 = 42

4.75x = 42 - 3


x = (39)/(4.75)

4.75 x = 39


x=(39)/(4.75)

x = 8.21(approx)

therefore 8 games did shakira bowl.

Hence proved
