video games.

Answer 1

To solve how many video games Marcus rented, we can set up an equation based on the information provided.

Let \( g \) represent the number of video games rented. The cost of the movie is $4, and each video game costs $6. The total amount Marcus paid is $22.

The equation can be written as:

\[
4 + 6g = 22
\]

Next, we can solve for \( g \):

1. Subtract the cost of the movie from both sides:
\[
6g = 22 - 4
\]
\[
6g = 18
\]

2. Divide both sides by 6:
\[
g = \frac{18}{6} = 3
\]

Thus, Marcus rented **3 video games**.

**Final answer:** Marcus rented 3 video games.

Answer 3

The equation representing the number of video games rented is:

\[
4 + 6g = 22
\]

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

Answer 4

6+ 4x =22 or 4+ 6x =22

Answer 5

The correct equation representing the scenario with Marcus renting one movie for $4 and video games for $6 each is:

\[
4 + 6x = 22
\]

Where:
- \( 4 \) represents the cost of the movie,
- \( 6x \) represents the total cost of \( x \) video games (each costing $6),
- and \( 22 \) is the total amount paid.

So, \( 4 + 6x = 22 \) is the appropriate equation to use.
