Answer 2

Answer:

Bryce purchased 3 games.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of songs and games that Bryce downloaded, we need to solve the following system of equations:

s + g = 8

2s + 5g = 25

We know that:

s + g = 8 → 2s + 2g = 16 → 2s = 16 -2g

2s + 5g = 25 → 16 - 2g + 5g = 25

→3g = 25 - 16

→3g = 9

→ g = 3

Therefore, bryce downloaded 3 games and 5 songs!
