Respuesta :

Answer:

Equation is  145 - 45 x = 10.

Billy bought 3 video games.

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

Total Balance in the gift card = $145

The cost of each video game = $45

After purchasing , Balance in Gift card = $10

Now,

Let Total number of  video games Billy purchase = x

⇒Cost for video game = 45x

Now,

As we know ,

Total Balance - Purchased Item = Balance left

⇒ 145 - 45 x = 10

∴ The equation is 145 - 45 x = 10

Now,

145 - 10 = 45x

⇒135 = 45x

⇒ x = [tex]\frac{135}{45}[/tex] = 3

∴ we get

Billy bought 3 video games
