1) miguel has a gift card to an electronics store. he has $ 150 on the card. he purchased a dvd for $ 20 and some games for $12.50 each. he has $17.50left on the gift card. write and solve an equation to determine how many games he purchased.

9 games

Step-by-step explanation:

If he purchase 1 game, he spent $12.50. If he purchased 2 games, he spent 2(12.50) = $25.

This means he spent 12.5x for x number of games.

His total spending will be 12.5x + 20. He has $17.50 left on the card from $150.

150 - (12.5x + 20) = 17.5

150 - 12.5x -20 = 17.5

130 - 12.5x = 17.5

-12.5x =  17.5 - 130

-12.5x = -112.5

x = 9

x=17

step-by-step explanation:

solve 3x-24=x+10

then that makes it 2x=34 because you subtract an x from both sides to get rid of the one on the right, and then you add 24 to both sides to get rid of the 24 on the left

divide by both sides by 2 to get your answer so that you can get your answer

1 1/5
