Let's define the variables as follows:
- Let \( s \) represent the number of songs purchased.
- Let \( g \) represent the number of games purchased.
Equation for the number of items purchased
Since Bryce downloaded a total of 8 items (songs and games), we can formulate the first equation as:
\[ s + g = 8 \]
Equation for the amount spent
Each song costs $2, and each game costs $5. Since Bryce spent all $25 on these items, we can formulate the second equation as:
\[ 2s + 5g = 25 \]
Summary of equations
-
The equation representing the number of games and songs Bryce purchased is: \[ s + g = 8 \]
-
The equation representing the amount Bryce spent on games and songs is: \[ 2s + 5g = 25 \]
