Answer:

A.)3x  

B.) 4(x-0.5)  

C.)3x=4(x-0.5)

D.)x=2 Tanya bought 2$ games

E.)  Tony bought $1.5 games

Step-by-step explanation:

A.) She has 3 games that cost the same amount so the cost is 3x

B.) He has 4 games that all cost .5 less then her but they also are the same amount as his other games.           So each of her games is subtracted by .5 then multiplied by 4. So the cost is 4(x-0.5)

C.) the two peoples games cost the same amount as the others so use those two original equations and put an equal sign   3x=4(x-0.5)

D.)

  • first distribute                         3x=4(x-0.5)
  • then simplify the variables     3x=4x-2
  • then divide                              -1x=-2

-2/-1=2                                       x=2

E.)

To find his you have to input this into the equation

4(x-0.5)     4(2-0.5)       4(1.5) so his cost of each game is $1.5
