  4. Jayda is going bowling. The company charges $3.00 to rent the shoes and $1.50 for each game,g bowled. What equation represents the total cost, C, of playing g, number of games?

Verified Answer :

  1. 8d - 10 = 4(2d - 6) 
          8d - 10 = 8d - 12
          8d - 8d = -12 + 10
           0 = -2......incorrect....NO SOLUTIONS

    14. 3.50c > = 500
          c > = 500/3.50
          c > = 142.857....she can sell (minimum) of 143

    15. 14c - 10 = 20
          14c = 20 + 10
          14c = 30
             c = 30/14 reduces to 15/7 (or 2 1/7)

    16. c = 1.50g + 3
