You pay $22 to rent 6 video games. the store charges $4 for new games and $2 for older games. how many new games did
you rent?
how many new games

You had 5 new games and 1 old game.

Step-by-step explanation:

From your statement, I got the 2 equations.

x be the number of new game and y be the number of old games.

4x + 2y = 22

x+y = 6

So, x = 6-y.

Putting that in the first equation:

4(6-y) + 2y = 22.

=>24–4y + 2y = 22

=>24–22 = 2y

=>y = 1

Now putting this in second equation, x + 1 = 6 and hence, x = 5.

You had 5 new games and 1 old game.

i get you, what you should do is think of the positive things that would come out of it. it will make yours parents proud and raise your grade. you should always try and if you can't focus tell the teacher.
