Let C = total cost of bowling
\n" ); document.write( "Let g = number of games bowled
\n" ); document.write( "For Jack, $\"C%5B1%5D+=+1.5+%2B+4.5g\"$
\n" ); document.write( "For Jill, $\"C%5B2%5D+=+2.5+%2B+4g\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Find the point where the total costs are equal
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C%5B1%5D+=+C%5B2%5D\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"1.5+%2B+4.5g+=+2.5+%2B+4g\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\".5g+=+1\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"g+=+2\"$
\n" ); document.write( "when each bowls 2 games the cost is the same for each
\n" ); document.write( "check answer
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C%5B1%5D+=+1.5+%2B+4.5%2A2\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"C%5B1%5D+=+10.5\"$
