In this question, we have to make an equation with the given scenario.
We can make an equation using slope intercept form:
y = mx + b
Whereas:
y = total cost
x = amount of games
We know that the bowling alley charges $3.50 for EACH game
So we can represent that with our "m" variable, it would be: 3.50x
Our equation as of right now:
y = 3.50x + b
We also know that the bowling alley charges a one-time payment of $8 for shoes, so that would be our "b" variable.
Plug 8 into the b value:
y= 3.50x + 8
Answer:
y= 3.50x + 8
