amy used her first 2 tokens at glimmer arcade to play a game of roll - and - score. then she played her favorite game, balloon bouncer, over and over until she ran out of tokens. balloon bouncer costs 3 tokens per game, and amy started with a bucket of 35 game tokens. which equation can amy use to find how many games of balloon bouncer, g, she played? 3g + 2 = 35; 2(g + 3) = 35; 2g + 3 = 35; 3(g + 2) = 35. how many games of balloon bouncer did amy play? games

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze token - usage

Amy started with 35 tokens. She first used 2 tokens for Roll - and - Score. Then she played Balloon Bouncer $g$ times, with each game costing 3 tokens.

Step2: Set up the equation

The total number of tokens used is the sum of the tokens for Roll - and - Score and the tokens for Balloon Bouncer. The equation is $3g + 2=35$.

Step3: Solve the equation for $g$

Subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:
$3g+2 - 2=35 - 2$
$3g = 33$
Divide both sides by 3:
$\frac{3g}{3}=\frac{33}{3}$
$g = 11$

Answer:

The equation is $3g + 2 = 35$, and Amy played 11 games of Balloon Bouncer.
