Respuesta :

bcalle
150 - 35x = 45

If you need to solve.
Subtract 150 from both sides.
-35x = -105
Divide both sides by -35
x = 3

The number of video games Billy bought is 3.

The initial balance on the gift card is $150. After purchasing the video games, the balance becomes $45. The total total amount he spent on the video games is $105 ($150 - $45). This can be represented with this equation:

$150 - $45 = $105

If a video game costs $35 and the number of video games he bought is represented with x, the total cost of the video game becomes $35x. The above equation becomes: $150 - $45 = $35x

($150 - $45) / $35 = x

105 / 35

x = 3
