Question

Toni rents bowling shoes for $6. She bowls 2 games and spends a total of $22. Write and solve an algebraic equation to find the cost of each game.

Answer 1

22=2x+6

Explanation:

you subtract 6 from both sides

that leaves u with 16=2x

then divide 2 by 16 and that equals

8

so 8=x

each game costs $8

you put the 2 in front of the x in the beginning due to Toni playing 2 games while the shoes are a one time fee.
