Answer:
24 video games
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent number of video games.
We have been given that a video game store allows customers to rent games for $4.75 each. So the cost of renting x video games would be 4.75x.
We are also told that customers can also buys a membership for $54 annually, and video games would only cost $2.50 each. The cost of renting x video games after membership would be 2.50x + 54
To find the number of video-games that will cost same for both options, we will equate both expressions as:
4.75x = 2.50x + 54
4.75x - 2.50x = 2.50x - 2.50x + 54
Therefore, a customer would have rent 24 video games in a year in order for the two options to be equal.
F(2) = (5/2)f(1) = 8.0
f(3) = (5/2)f(2) = 20
f(4) = (5/2)f(3) = 50
f(5) = (5/2)*50 = 125
Answer:
I think you would divide all of your numbers.
Step-by-step explanation:
18 is the least common denominator of all the fractions, so you can eliminate fractions by multiplying the equation by 18.
(4.5*18)x +((7/9)*18)x + (2 1/3)*18 + ((1/6)*18)x = (5 1/18)*18
81x +14x +42 +3x = 91 . . . . . simplify
Collect terms.
98x + 42 = 91
98x = 49 . . . . . . . . . subtract 42
x = 49/98 = 1/2
The solution is x = 1/2.

You can also do the arithmetic with mixed numbers and fractions. The usual methods apply.
(4.5 + 7/9 + 1/6)x + 2 1/3 = 5 1/18
(49/9)x + 7/3 = 91/18
(49/9)x = 49/18 . . . . . . . subtract 7/3
x = (9/49)(49/18) = 9/18 = 1/2 . . . . . multiply by 9/49
This can be a little more tedious than the method above, but it works and it will give you the right answer. A calculator that works with fractions can make this solution as easy as the other one.
You can do 9/1 x A
2 x (9/0.5 x B)
9/0.25 x C
so 9A + 36B + 36C
(9 x 50) + (36 x 80) + (36 x 120) = 450 + 2880 + 4320 = $7650
