Question

Steven goes to a game store. He purchases a new game system for $120. He Purchased the game console for $82 and 2 used video games that were equally priced. How much did each of the video game cost? Show all of your work

Answer 1

So he bought the $120 game with $82 and 2 equally priced game. This can be changed to an equation: 120= 82+2X. The X represents the cost of the used game.
120= 82+2X
-82 -82
——————-
38= 2X

38= 2X
Divide by 2 on both sides

X= 19

Answer 2

120-82=38, so, 38/2=14, and you have your answer.



Hope this helps and have a nice day.
