Answer:
You're equation will be: 0.75x + 3 = 36
Step-by-step explanation:
You have $36 in all. 36 is the total amount you spend (assuming you spend all of it, so it should be ≤, however, it says <em>equation</em>)
$3 is a one-time fee for entering the amusement park.
$0.75 is a fee for <em>every</em> game you play.
"x" is the amount of games you play.
You're equation will be: 0.75x + 3 = 36

Solve. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS.
First, subtract 3 from both sides:
0.75x + 3 (-3) = 36 (-3)
0.75x = 36 - 3
0.75x = 33
Next, to isolate the x, divide 0.75 from both sides
(0.75x)/0.75 = (33)/0.75
x = 33/0.75
x = 44
You can play 44 games in all.
