Question

The Brown’s family paid a total of $19.00 to bowl 3 games and rent shoes. Each game cost $4.00. Write an equation to represent the total cost y to rent shoes and bowl x games. How much is the shoe rental? How is this represented in the equation?

Answer 1

Explanation:

19=4x+y is the equation .------1

here x is number of games.

y is cost to rent shoes.

it is given that x=3

so equation 1 becomes

19-12=y

so y=7

which is shoe rental cost

simple:)

Answer 2

Shoes rental cost: $7

The equation to find the cost is 19 = 4x + y

Explanation:

Each game = $4

There are 3 games

They paid a total of $19.00

We have the equation to find the cost is

19 = 4x + y

Now let's put 3 in for x to solve for the cost of renting shoes!

19 = 4(3) + y

19 = 12 + y

y = $7

So, the equation to find shoe rental cost is 19 = 4x + y, and the cost to rent shoes is $7
