If one person rents a pair of shoes to bowl, how many games should they bowl to make the bowling alley on Wedge Street cheaper than the bowling alley on Lawrence Street.
\n" ); document.write( "Let g be the number of bowling games:
\n" ); document.write( "Wedge Street: C = 1.50g + 5.00
\n" ); document.write( "Lawrence Street: C = 2.00g + 3.00\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "If Wedge street is cheaper than Lawrence street then
\n" ); document.write( "1.5g + 5 < 2g + 3
\n" ); document.write( "1.5g - 2g < 3 - 5
\n" ); document.write( "-0.5g < -2
\n" ); document.write( "g > (-2)/(-0.5)
\n" ); document.write( "g > 4\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Thus that person must play more than 4 bowling games, so the Wedge Street is cheaper than Lawrence.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "There you go! \n" ); document.write( "

\n" );
