Question

When Brandon went bowling, it cost $4.95 per game, plus a one-time fee to rent the shoes. Brandon played 5 games and paid $32. Write and solve linear equation to find the cost to rent the shoes.​

Answer 1

I think the equation would be
y=4.95x +7.25
The cost of the shoes in this instance would be 7.25.
Since he play 5 games, and each one cost 4.95, you would multiply the two getting 24.75. Since he paid 32, you would subtract what he paid total from the amount for just the games and you would get 7.25.
Using the equation y=4.95(5) + 7.25, it would equal 24.75+7.25 which is equal to 32.
I hope this is right and the answer you were looking for, have a good day.
