Words: $5 per game plus $3 for shoe rental equals $2 per game plus $9 per shoe rental.
Variable: Let g represent the number of games he would need to bowl to pay an equal amount at each bowling alley.
Equation: 5g+3=2g+9
.
5g +3 = 2g + 9
5-2g +3 = 2g-2g + 9
3g +3 = 9
3g +3 -3 = 9 - 3
3g/3 = 6/3
g = 2
Mr. Bradley would need to play 2 games at each bowling alley for the cost to be the same.
