A local bowling alley charges each person $5.25 per game bowled and $3.50 to rent a pair of bowling shoes. The bowling alley also offers food specials. Currently, bowlers can purchase a super pizza deal, which includes a large pizza and a pitcher of soda, for only $15.50.

Five friends decide to go bowling. Each friend bowls two games and rents a pair of bowling shoes. They also buy one super pizza deal to
share.

• What is the total cost (in dollars) for the five friends to rent shoes, bowl two games, and purchase a super pizza deal? Explain or show
your work.
• If the five friends split the total cost so each one pays the same amount of money, how much does each friend pay (in dollars)? Explain or show your work.

If there is 5 friends and each person has to pay $5.25 for each game and they all played 2 games that would be $52.50 in total. Then it costs $3.50 to rent a pair of shoes so that would be 17.50 in total. The super pizza deal costs $15.50 so if they buy one super pizza deal to share that would be $15.50 in total. So the finished total would be $85.50 in total. If the 5 friends split the cost so they spent the same amount of money they would be paying $17.10 each because 85.50 divided by 5 is 17.10

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
