Answer: The cost of each game is $2.50
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's find the equations for each friend:
Friend 1:
Pays $3 for the shoes, and plays 3 games, then if X is the cost of each game, Friend 1 pays a total of:
$3 + 3*X
Friend 2:
This friend buys a soda for $0.50, and he plays 4 games, remember that the cost of each game was X. then this friend pays:
$0.50 + 4*X
And we know that both friends pay the exact same amount, then we can write:
$3 + 3*X = $0.50 + 4*X
And solve this for X.
We need to isolate X, then we can move all the terms with X to the right, and all the terms without X to the left:
$3 - $0.50 = 4*X - 3*X
$2.50 = (4 - 3)*X = X
This means the cost of each game is $2.50
With what????????????????????
Answer:yes imStep-by-step explanation:
Answer:
3x = 50 - 10y
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, x represents the number of 3 lb weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights,
So, total weight of 3 lb weights = 3x
And, the weight of 10 lb weights = 10y
Total weight of all his weights = 3x + 10y
According to the question,
Total weight = 50 lb,
⇒ 3x + 10y = 50
Or 3x = 50 - 10y
Which is the required equation.
Second option is correct.
