Oren · Answer 1

2 games

Step-by-step explanation:

$ 4 to rent shoes and $ 3.50 per game

4 + 3.50g

$ 7 to rent shoes and $ 2 per game

7 + 2g

when will they charge the same ... when will they be equal ... so set them equal to each other and solve for g, the number of games

4 + 3.50g = 7 + 2g

3.50g - 2g = 7 - 4

1.50g = 3

g = 3 / 1.50

g = 2 <===
