The Fun Guys game rental store charges an annual fee of $5 plus $5.50 per game rented. The Game Bank charges an annual fee of $20 plus $2.50 per game. For how many game rentals will the cost be the same at both stores? Games= What is that cost? dollars=
Cost at Fun Guys = Cost at Game Bank 5 + 5.5x = 20 + 2.5x x is the number of game rentals. Solve for x
2x=15
3x = 15
5.5 - 2.5 = 3
sry bb im bad at math
looks like an easy finish!
whats da cost thou?
well, how many games is it?
3
tell me this, and then take that number and put it into one of the equations
5 + 5.5 * x = 20 + 2.5 * x 5.5 * x - 2.5 * x = 20 - 5 3 * x = 15 x = 5 Games
oh see im bad at math
ooh. no no! you were at 3x=15 x is the number of games to make the prices equal!
3x means 3 times x =15
5
yes
ok so, if both stores the price will be the same if people rent 5 games, you take that 5 and plug it into either equation you want, because they are equal!
ok thank ya ok
and pay 32.5
see the original question. FUN GUYS is 5 dollars +5.50 per game. you are looking at the cost for 5 games so you need 5 times 5.50 because 5.50 is for only 1 game. Answer = 5 + 5*5.50
