James bought $175 in accessories for his video game console. he spent $15 on a new power cord and the rest of his money on 5 new video games. each video game cost the same amount. write two equations you could use to find the cost of each video game.

Hello!

I believe two equations you can make to represent the question are...

(175-15)/5
and
5x+15=175

The first equation, (175-15)/5, makes you subtract 15 from 175 to get 160. You'll then divide 160 by 5 to get 32.

The second equation, 5x+15=175, makes you subtract 15 from 15 and 175, so you'll equation will look like this...
5x=160
You'll then divide 5x and 160 by 5 to get x=32.

So for both equations, you'll get an answer of 32.

I hope this helps!

You can start by removing the $15 form $175 to get 160.00 the divide 160 by what till you get 5 

so it will look like this 

$175-$15=$160/$32 each = get you 5 games
