Answer 1

4 games

Explanation:

Robert called two bowling centers, Fannin Lanes and Fun Times Lanes, to déterminé the cost to bowl.

Let x number of games played

y represents total cost to bowl

• Fannin Lanes charges 2.50 per games plus 2 for shoe rental

y = 2.50x + 2

• Fun Time Lanes charges 2 per game plus 4 for shoe rental.

y = 2x + 4

If total cost to bowl be same at both center

2.50x + 2 = 2x + 4

2.5x - 2x = 4-2

0.5x = 2

x = 4

Hence, 4 games will the cost to bowl be the same at both center.
