Joe decides to take his six year old son to the planetarium. The price for the child's ticket is 5.75 dollars less than the pric
e for the adult's ticket. If you represent the price for the child's ticket using the variable "x," how would you write the algebraic expression for the adult's ticket price? 5.75x x over 5.75 x + 5.75 x5.75
To answer this item, we are instructed that the price of the ticket for the children is equal to x. Since, we are also given that this is 5.75 less than the price of tickets for the adults, we may express this as follows,
x = n - 5.75
n is the price of ticket for the adults. This can be calculated by transposing 5.75 to the other side of the equation,
