Answer 1

4 + 6x = 22 and 3 video games

Explanation:

ape-x

Answer 2

Your equation should be:

4 + 6x = 22

This is so because he only bought one movie, but he bought "some" video games. The variable x represents some in the problem.

Solve the equation.

4 + 6x = 22

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

6x = 18

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 3

Marcus rented 3 video games.

Solution :

D. 4 + 6x = 22
B. 3 video games
