The equation for this problem can be written as 18x=162. X would represent the number of games bought. You do the inverse operation of multiplying by 18 to both sides and you get the answer as x=9. 9 is the number of games bought with 162 dollars.

Hello!

Explanation:

X= represents the video games."

18x=162

First, you had to divide by 18 from both sides of an equation.

[tex]\frac{18x}{18}= \frac{162}{18}[/tex]

Finally, simplify by equation form.

[tex]162/18=9[/tex]

[tex]162/9=18[/tex]

[tex]18*9=162[/tex]

[tex]9*18=162[/tex]

Answer: [tex]=9[/tex]

Hope this helps!

Thanks!
