Question

Brent has $26 when he went to the fair. After playing 7 games, he had $15.50 left. Solve 15.50 = 26 - 7p to find the price for each game. Then list the Properties Of Equality you used to solve the equation.

Answer 1

the answer is p=1.5...........................

Answer 2

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

15.5=26−7p

15.5=−7p+26

Step 2: Flip the equation.

−7p+26=15.5

Step 3: Subtract 26 from both sides.

−7p+26=15.5

      -26 -26

−7p=−10.5

Step 4: Divide both sides by -7.

-7p = -10.5

/-7     /-7

Answer:

P = $1.5 (Price for each game)

Hope this helps!
