Elvis Henry · Answer 1

A) y + 4x = 14

To find the cost of the shoe rental (represented as y), we plug in the number of games and isolate the y:

y + 4x = 14 We plug in 3 for x because they bowled 3 games:

y + 4 (3) = 14 Then, multiply:

y + 12 = 14 Subtract 12 on each side to isolate the y:

y = 2

b) So, the cost of shoe rentals is $2.
