Jacob went bowling over the weekend. On Saturday, he bowled at Bowlero, where he rented shoes for $3.25 and paid $3.75 for each game. On Sunday, he bowled at the
Cowtown Bowling Center, where he rented shoes for $2.50 and paid $4.00 per game. If
he spent the same amount each day, how many games did he bowl? (Let the number of
games played = x.)

x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Blowlero's cost of shoes + the cost of one game = $7.00. If we add the cost of a game two more times, we get $14.50

At Cowtown Bowling Center, we can do the same thing. The cost of shoes + the cost of a game= $6.50. If we add the cost of a game two more times, we get $14.50.

For Jacob to have spent the same amount each day, he would have had to played three games at both places.

no this is a nonlinear negative
