Question

Mr. Gutierrez and his brother like to play video games. They want to purchase a game console that is $300, 4 games and 2 controllers. Write an expression to represent this situation.

Answer 1

`2x+y=150`

Explanation:

Number of games = 4

Number of controllers = 2

Mr. Gutierrez and his brother want to purchase a game console that is $300.

Let
`x` denotes number of games and
`y` denotes number of controllers.

`4x+2y=300`

Divide this equation by
`2`

`2x+y=150`

So, the expression to represent the situation is
`2x+y=150`
