For Extreme Bowling, the total cost is:

$$C_1 = 5g + 4$$

For Lakeside Bowling, the total cost is:

$$C_2 = 4g + 8$$

Set up the equation

Using the Solving Multi-Step Equations knowledge point
To find when the charges are equal, set \(C_1 = C_2\):

$$5g + 4 = 4g + 8$$

Solve for the number of games
