To represent the costs at both bowling alleys as linear equations, we can use the following formats based on the given information.
For Bowl-O-Rama:
- The cost \( C \) is calculated as $5 per game \( g \) plus $4 for shoe rental.
So, the equation for Bowl-O-Rama is: \[ C = 5g + 4 \]
For Bowling Pinz:
- The cost \( C \) is calculated as $4 per game \( g \) plus $8 for shoe rental.
So, the equation for Bowling Pinz is: \[ C = 4g + 8 \]
In summary, the pair of linear equations that model this situation is:
- Bowl-O-Rama: \( C = 5g + 4 \)
- Bowling Pinz: \( C = 4g + 8 \)
