Question

On Saturday you went bowling at Pin-Stack. You spent $2.00 on shoe rental and $3.50 for each game bowled. The next weekend, you bowled at Strike and Reel where you spent $5.00 on shoe rental and $3.25 for each game bowled. Which equation represents the number of games you bowled if you spent the same amount at each location?

Answer 1

The equation represents the number of games you bowled if you spent the same amount at each location is:

=> 2 + 3.50x = 5 + 3.25x.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the equation that represents the number of games bowled at each location, we need to set up an equation and solve for the number of games.

Let's say the number of games bowled is represented by 'x'.

At Pin-Stack, you spent $2.00 on shoe rental and $3.50 for each game bowled.

So the total amount spent at Pin-Stack is 2 + 3.50x.

At Strike and Reel, you spent $5.00 on shoe rental and $3.25 for each game bowled.

So the total amount spent at Strike and Reel is 5 + 3.25x.

Since you spent the same amount at each location, we can set up an equation: 2 + 3.50x = 5 + 3.25x.

To find the value of 'x', we can subtract 3.25x from both sides and simplify the equation to find the solution.
