Answer:

9 games

Step-by-step explanation:

If he purchase 1 game, he spent $12.50. If he purchased 2 games, he spent 2(12.50) = $25.

This means he spent 12.5x for x number of games.

His total spending will be 12.5x + 20. He has $17.50 left on the card from $150.

150 - (12.5x + 20) = 17.5

150 - 12.5x -20 = 17.5

130 - 12.5x = 17.5

-12.5x =  17.5 - 130

-12.5x = -112.5

x = 9

Elden [556K]

Answer:

  • 35 5-lb weights
  • 25 3-lb weights

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t and f represent the numbers of three- and five-pound weights. The problem statement tells us ...

  f + t = 60

  f - t = 10

Adding these two equations, we get ...

  (f +t) +(f -t) = (60) +(10)

  2f = 70 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  f = 35 . . . . . . divide by 2

She has 35 5-lb weights, and 25 3-lb weights.
