Margaret is renting bowling shoes for $1.50 every time she goes bowling. she could get a good pair of bowling shoes for $48. if she goes once every two weeks during the year, would it be less expensive to rent or buy?

Correct answer would be to rent, it's cheaper.

1.50 x 26 = $39

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
