to rent bowling shoes. Each game costs $2.25
. You have $9.25

Answer 1

$2.50 can be your constant because you will have to pay it once in order to bowl. $2.25 can be the coefficient of the variable. You can form the equation now. y is total price while x is how many games you can bowl.

Now that you have the equation, you can solve. Knowing that you have $9.25, just plug in that value in the y

Now, just simply solve for x and you will find the answer to the second part of the question. You will get x=3
