Answer 1

Let's call the cost of one game x.
Let x = Cost of one game
3x + $2
3 × $4 + $2 =
$12 + $2 =
$14
ANSWER:
$14

Answer 2

$25

Explanation:

Let each game she plays be = X

Let’s assume the Shoe rental cost she pays be = $10 (this can also be expressed in terms of a variable but for simplicity we will assume the shoe rental cost now to be a Number)

Let’s assume the cost of one game be = $5

Now the expression would be:

3X + $10

Total cost to Melinda if one game costs $5:

3($5) + $10 = $15 + $10 = $25
