We just learned this in 7th grade honors math. (v) will stand for video game. v+$6.33=$11.33 is your equation. The opposite of +6.33 is -6.33 so you subtract.
v+6.33=11.33
-6.33 - 6.33
----------- ----------
v + 0 = 5.00, so v=5.00, the video game system rent money is $5.00 per person
3 people x 5 = 15 dollars

'You and two friends' refers to 3 people in total. So, 3 people (for 3 games) is $6.33 × 3 = $18.99. And a total of $11.33 per person is for 3 people: $11.33 × 3 = $33.99. Therefore the cost of the system is: $33.99 - $18.99 = $15.00
Simple maths equation (or some like to call it a 'number sentence'):
($11.33 - $6.33) × 3 = $15.00

Each person pays $5.00 for the system because $11.33-$6.33 is $5.00. Then since there are three people including you, the system is $15.00.
Equation x = 3(11.33-6.33)

3(6.33) + x = 3(11.33)
18.99 + x = 33.99
-18.99 + x = -18.99
----------------------------
x = $15
