Answer 1

A) Tonya bought 3 games at X price, so 3X would be total amount.

B) Tony's cost was 0.50 less than X, so x-0.50, he bought 4 games, so he spent 4(x-0.50).

C) Set those to equal to solve for x:

3x = 4(x-0.50)

D) Solve:

3x = 4(x-0.50)

Distribute:

3x = 4x - 2

Subtract 4x from both sides:

-X = -2

Multiply both sides by -1:

X = 2

E) Since X is the amount Tonya paid per game, Tony paid X - 0.50, so Tony paid 2 - 0.50 = $1.50 per game.

Check:

Tonya:  3x = 3(2) = $6 total

Tony: 4(x-0.50) = 4(2.00 - 0.50) = 4(1.50) = $6 total

Answer 2

Answer:

Tanya game cost $2 each

a. Total cost for Tanya purchased game = 3x

b. Total cost for Tony purchased game = (x - 0.5)4 = 4x - 2

c. 3x = 4x - 2

d. 3x =  (x - 0.5)4

3x = 4x - 2

3x - 4x = -2

-x = -2

x = 2

both paid $6 to get the games Tony paid $1.5 for each game.

e. Tanya game cost $2 each

Step-by-step explanation:

cost of each of Tanya games = x

Each of Tony's game was $ 0.50 less than Tanya's  games

cost of each of Tony game = x - 0.5

Both of them paid the same amount

number of game bought by Tanya = 3

number of game bought by Tony = 4

Total cost for Tanya = 3x

Total cost for Tony = (x - 0.5)4

since both paid same amount

3x =  (x - 0.5)4

3x = 4x - 2

3x - 4x = -2

-x = -2

x = 2

Tanya game cost $2 each

a. Expression for Tanya purchased game

Total cost for Tanya purchased game = 3x

b. Expression for Tony purchased game

Total cost for Tony purchased game = (x - 0.5)4 = 4x - 2

Equation to see the cost of each person

3x = 4x - 2

solve the equation

3x =  (x - 0.5)4

3x = 4x - 2

3x - 4x = -2

-x = -2

x = 2

both paid $6 to get the games Tony paid $1.5 for each game.

cost of one Tanya game

Tanya game cost $2 each
