Marcus rented a movie for $4 and some video games for $6 each. he paid $22. how many games did he rent? choose two answers: one for the equation that models this situation and one for the correct answer. a. equation: 6 + 4x = 22 b. 3 video games c. 4 video games d. equation: 4 + 6x = 22

Your equation should be:

4 + 6x = 22

This is so because he only bought one movie, but he bought "some" video games. The variable x represents some in the problem.

Solve the equation.

4 + 6x = 22

Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.

6x = 18

Divide both sides by 6.

x = 3

Marcus rented 3 video games.

Solution :

D. 4 + 6x = 22
B. 3 video games
