Answer:

x = -7/5

Step-by-step explanation:

3( x - 6 ) - 8x = -2 + 5(2x + 1)

3x - 18 - 8x = -2 + 10x + 5

-5x - 18 = 3 + 10x

-5x - 10x = 3 + 18

-15x = 21

x = $-\frac{7}{5}$

Afina-wow [57]

Answer: The cost per game is $5.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Zhang Lei spent $20.00 during his last outing at the bowling alley. There is a one time shoe rental fee of $3.50. He spent the rest of the money on bowling a number of games.

This means that amount paid for x number of games = 20 - 3.5 = $16.5

If it took Zhang Lei 45 minutes to bowl each game and he spent 2 hours and 15 minutes bowling, total time spent in minutes is 120+ 15 = 135 minutes. Therefore, the number of games is played is 135/45 = 3

If the total number of games played cost 16.5, therefore, the cost per game will be 16.5/3 = $5.5
