Question

A video store charges $5 per game rental plus $12 to rent the game system. Write an expression for renting the game system and a number of games.

Answer 1

12 + 5X = Y

Explanation:

Given that a video store charges $ 5 per game rental plus $ 12 to rent the game system, to write an expression for renting the game system and a number of games the following logical reasoning must be performed:

5 = variable not fixed, depends on the number of games

12 = fixed variable

X = number of games

Y = total value

12 + 5X = Y

Thus, if 5 video games were rented, the equation would operate as follows:

12 + 5x5 = Y

12 + 25 = Y

37 = Y
