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 a linear equation to find the cost to rent the shoes.

Answer 1

7.25 because 4.95 time 5 is 24.75. 24.75 minus 32 is 7.25

Answer 2

$7.25

Explanation:

y= mx+b

y= 32

m= 4.95

x= 5

b=cost to rent shoes

• 32= 4.95(5) + b
• 32= 24.75 + b
• -24.75 both sides
• 7.25= b
