During school vacation, Marquis wants to go bowling and to play laser tag. He wants to play 7 total games but needs to figure out how many of each he can play if he spends exactly $18. Each game of bowling is $2
and each game of laser tag is $4.
Part 1 out of 3
Let x represent the number of games Marquis bowls and let y represent the number of games of laser tag
Marquis plays. Enter a system of equations that describes the situation. Then enter the equations in slope-
intercept form.
The system is x
+ y = 7 and 2x
= 18
(For each equation above, be sure to enter the x-term in the first box and the y-term in the second box.)
In slope-intercept form (using decimals instead of fractions when needed), the system is
1
9
J = -X
7
and y
