    Xavier has $132 to buy a video game. Each game costs $12. Write an equation to find the number of games Xavier can purchase.

    Let g be the number of games, we have a cost function C(g)
    C(g) = 12g

    We want to find g such that C(g) = 132
    12g = 132

    Divide each side by 12
    g = 11
