Hello!

Step-by-step explanation:

X= represents the video games."

18x=162

First, you had to divide by 18 from both sides of an equation.


(18x)/(18)= (162)/(18)

Finally, simplify by equation form.


162/18=9


162/9=18


18*9=162


9*18=162

Answer:
=9

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

The equation for this problem can be written as 18x=162. X would represent the number of games bought. You do the inverse operation of multiplying by 18 to both sides and you get the answer as x=9. 9 is the number of games bought with 162 dollars.
