Step-by-step explanation:
You just divide 7 by 2
Complete question :
Write a system of equations, with one equation describing the cost to bowl at Bowl-o-Rama and the other describing the cost to bowl at Bowling Pinz. For each equation, let x represent the number of games played and let y represent the total cost.
Bowl-O-Rama rents shoes for $2 and each game cost $2.50
Bowling Pinz rents shoes for $4 and each game cost $2
Answer:
Bowl-O-Rama:
y = $2 + $2.50x
Bowling pinz:
y = $4 + $2x
Step-by-step explanation:
The total cost is the sum of shoe rental plus the product of the unit game rate and the number of games played.
Total cost, y
x = number of games played
Bowl-O-Rama:
y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)
y = $2 + ($2.50 * x)
y = $2 + $2.50x
Bowling Pinz :
y = Shoe rent + (unit rate per game * number of games)
y = $4 + ($2 * x)
y = $4 + $2x
You want to eliminate one of the terms (x or y) in one of the equations so you can solve for the other variable. You have to multiply by the opposite number of the coefficient to be able to eliminate the term in the other equation. If the x coefficient is 2, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by -2. If the y coefficient is -5, then you have to multiply the entire other equation by 5.

-4x + 9y= 9
x - 3y= -6
STEP 1:
multiply the bottom equation by 4
4(x- 3y)= 4(-6)
4x - 12y= -24
STEP 2:
add the top equation and the equation from step 2
-4x + 9y= 9
4x - 12y= -24
the x term cancels out
-3y= 15
divide both sides by -3
y= -5
STEP 2:
substitute the y value in either original equation to solve for x
x - 3y= -6
x - 3(-5)= -6
x + 15= -6
subtract 15 from both sides
x= -21
ANSWER: x= -21; y= -5

12)
-7x + y= -19
-2x + 3y= -19
STEP 1:
multiply the top equation by -3 to eliminate the y term and to solve for x
-3(-7x + y)= -3(-19)
21x - 3y= 57
STEP 2:
add the bottom equation and the equation from step 2 to solve for x
-2x + 3y= -19
21x - 3y= 57
the y term cancels out
19x= 38
divide both sides by 19
x= 2
STEP 3:
substitute the x value in step 2 to solve for y; you can use either original equation
-7x + y= -19
-7(2) + y= -19
-14 + y= -19
add 14 to both sides
y= -5
ANSWER: x= 2; y=-5
Hope this helps! :)
