Ronald Hawkins · Answer 1

The equation is $21.50 = 2.50x + 4

So the first step is subtracting 4 from both sides

So you are left with $17.50 = 2.50x

Then divide both sides by 2.50

So you get 7 = x

So you can go on 7 rides

Marshall Blair · Answer 2

The answer is 7. Because $21.50-4=17.50 and then 17.50:2.50=7
