    Let x = number of games bowled.

    Amount spent at Vista Bowl=2+3.5x

    Amount spent at Pinz Bowl=5+3.25x

    Setting these two equations equal to each other and solving for x will give you the number of games you can bowl to make the cost the same:

    2+3.5x=5+3.25x setting equations equal

    3.5x-3.25x=5-2 combining like terms

    0.25x=3 simplify

    (1/4) x=3 changing decimal into a fraction

    x = (3) (4) multiply both sides by 4 to isolate the x

    x=12 answer
