Aria is going to a carnival that has games and rides. each game costs $3.50 and each ride costs $5. aria spent $42 altogether at the carnival and the number of rides she went on is 5 more than the number of games she played.

Aria played 2 games and went on 7 rides.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aria has $42 to spend in a carnival that has games and rides.

Each game costs $3.50 and each ride costs $5.

Let the number of games she played = x

Then the cots of games she played = $3.5x

She went on is 5 more than the number of games she played

so the number of rides she went on = 5 + x

Now the equation will be

3.5x + 5(x + 5) = 42

3.5x + 5x + 25 = 42

8.5x + 25 = 42

8.5x = 42 - 25

8.5x = 17

x =

x = 2

2 Games that she played

Now as per statement "she went on 5 more than the number of games she played"

number of rides = 5 + 2 = 7

Aria played 2 games and went on 7 rides.
