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.

The equation representing the number of games rented is????!?!!?

The equation representing the number of video games rented is:

\[ 4 + 6g = 22 \]

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

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

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.
