C + a = 140......a = 140 - c
5.3c + 9.4a = 1086.4
5.3c + 9.4(140 - c) = 1086.4
5.3c + 1316 - 9.4c = 1086.4
5.3c - 9.4c = 1086.4 - 1316
-4.1c = - 229.6
c = -229.6 / -4.1
c = 56......so their were 56 child tickets sold
X= 5 and it also equals -5
The property illustrated is the Associative property of multiplication
Leeza did make an error. She also needs to multiply -5 by 3
4x = 7+6x -15
