Answer:The equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket is 2x = 33
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the price of one student ticket.
Elise and her dad are planning to attend the state fair and the price of an adult ticket is $21.00
The price of an adult ticket is $10.00 more than two thirds the price of a student ticket. This means that
21 = 2/3 × x + 10
The equation to determine how much Elise will pay for a student ticket would be
2x/3 + 10 = 21
2x/3 = 21 - 10 = 11
2x = 11×3 = 33
x = 33/2 = $16.5
For eliminating you need to have a variable that cancels the other out and in this case 2x and -2x do. Then you want to take -3y+9y and add the numbers after the equal sign. -9+3
