Question

I need help with question #17. This a homework question!

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to get the amount of money it costs each of the friends to bowl

Let us call this cost x

For the 9, the cost will be:

`9\text{ }*\text{ x = \$9x}`

To rent a bowling shoe, it costs $3, the cost for all will be :

`3\text{ }*\text{ 9 = \$27}`

The sum of the bowling cost and the shoe rental cost is a total $162

Mathematically, we have it that:

`\begin{gathered} 9x\text{ + 27 = 162} \\ 9x\text{ = 162-27} \\ 9x=\text{ 135} \\ x\text{ = }(135)/(9) \\ \text{ x= 15} \end{gathered}`

It costs each of the friends $15 to bowl excluding the shoe rental cost
