the total cost for bowling includes the fee for show rental plus a fee per game. the cost of each game increases the price by $4. After 3 games the total cost with shoe rental is $14
a. write an equation to represent the total cost y to rent shoes and bowl x games.
b. how much is shoe rentals? how is it represented in the equation?


Sagot :

a)         y + 4x = 14

To find the cost of the shoe rental (represented as y), we plug in the number of games and isolate the y:

y + 4x = 14                        We plug in 3 for x because they bowled 3 games:
y + 4(3) = 14                      Then, multiply:
y + 12 = 14                        Subtract 12 on each side to isolate the y:
y = 2

b)           So, the cost of shoe rentals is $2.
