The total cost for a bowling game includes the fee for the shoe rental plus a fee per game. The cost of each game increases the price by $4. After 3 games, the total cost with the shoe rental is $14.

A:Write an equation to represent the total cost y to rent shoes and bowl x number of games.

B: How much is the shoe rental?

Y = shoe rent (s) + cost of each game (B) times (x) number of games played total.

they played 3 games total 1st the cost of $4each game. - - - > 4 times 3 = $12

after those 3 games, the total cost was $12 without including the shoe rental.

--->total charged minus cost of all games=shoe rental cost

--->$14-$12=$2

shoe rental=$2
