Ben and his friends are going to play putt-putt. At one location, they can pay $2.00 for rentals plus $7.50 per game. At another location, it would cost $8.00 for rentals plus $6.00 per game. How many games would they have to play in order for either location to cost the same amount?



What is the best way to set up and solve the word problem?


2+7.50x=8+6x
2 plus 7 point 5 0 x is equal to 8 plus 6 x

6x+2=7.50x+8
6 x plus 2 is equal to 7 point 5 0 x plus 8

7.50x−2=6x−8
7 point 5 0 x minus 2 is equal to 6 x minus 8

6x−2=7.50x−8
6 x minus 2 is equal to 7 point 5 0 x minus 8
