Question

equation:

answer:

Answer 1

To determine how many games Harvey rented, we can start by setting up an equation based on the information given.

The total cost for Harvey can be expressed as:

\[
\text{Total Cost} = \text{Membership Fee} + (\text{Cost per Game} \times \text{Number of Games Rented})
\]

Substituting in the values:

\[
296 = 50 + (3 \times g)
\]

where \( g \) is the number of games rented.

To solve for \( g \), first, subtract the membership fee from both sides:

\[
296 - 50 = 3g
\]

\[
246 = 3g
\]

Next, divide both sides by 3 to find \( g \):

\[
g = \frac{246}{3}
\]

\[
g = 82
\]

Thus, the number of games Harvey rented is **82**.

### Summary:
Equation:
\[
296 = 50 + (3g)
\]

Answer:
**82 games**.
