Orion Chapman · Answer 1

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

15.5 = 26 - 7 p

15.5 = - 7p + 26

Step 2: Flip the equation.

-7p+26 = 15.5

Step 3: Subtract 26 from both sides.

-7p + 26 = 15.5

-26 - 26

-7p = - 10.5

Step 4: Divide both sides by - 7.

-7p = - 10.5

/-7 / - 7

Answer:

P = $1.5 (Price for each game)
