Tina plans on going bowling this weekend, and there are two bowling alleys in her town. The Bowling Pin charges $5 for shoe rental and $3.50 per game. The Alley Way charges $3 for shoe rental and $4 per game. Write an equation to show the break even point between the two bowling alleys, and then solve the equation.
A) 5 + 3.5x = 3 + 4x,
x = 4
B) 5 + 3.5x > 3 + 4x,
x = 1
C) 5x + 3.5 = 3x + 4,
x = 0.25
D) 5x + 3.5 = 3x + 4
x = 2

Answer 1

Answer: The answers is A) 5+3.5x=3+4x you want bowling pin alley to equal Alley way.

5+3.5x=3+4x

2=.5x

X=4

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: A) 5 + 3.5x = 3 + 4x, x = 4

The Bowling Pin charges $5 for shoe rental and $3.50 per game. The shoe should be fixed, but the price for playing depends on how many games played.
The function would be: 5 + 3.5x

The Alley Way charges $3 for shoe rental and $4 per game. The shoe should be fixed, but the price for playing depends on how many games played.
The function would be: 3 + 4x

The break even point would be:
5 + 3.5x= 3+4x
5-3= 4-3.5x
2= 0.5x
x=4
