It costs $2.50 to rent bowling shoes. each game costs $2.25. you have $9.25. write and solve an equation to find how many games x you can bowl.- you

Hi there!

So, 2.25x would represet the total amount of money spent for all the games.

2.25x + 2.50 = 9.25 would be the equation to represent this scenario.

Now to solve: Our goal is the get x alone. Subtract 2.50 (the price of the shoes) from both sides. 9.25 - 2.50 = 6.75.

We are now left with 2.25x = 6.75.

Finally, we divide both sides of the equation by 2.25, which leaves us with x = 3.

So you can bowl for a total of 3 games.

I hope I helped!
