2. Costs for bowling @ a certain bowling alley are $2.50 for shoes and $4.25 for each game bowled. Austin spends $15.25. Write and solve an equation for find how many games he bowled.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 1. The width of rectangle is 6cm less than the length. The perimeter is 72cm. Write and solve an equation to find the width an length of a rectangle.
Let W = the width of rectangle in cm
L = the length of rectangle in cm
W = L -6
2L + 2W = 72
2L + 2(L-6) = 72
2L + 2L -12 = 72
4L = 84
L = 21
W = 21-6 = 15
2. Costs for bowling @ a certain bowling alley are $2.50 for shoes and $4.25 for each game bowled. Austin spends $15.25. Write and solve an equation for find how many games he bowled.
Let x = the number of games Austin bowled
2.5 + 4.25x = 15.25
x = 3
