Question

The youth group is going on a trip to the state fair. The trip costs $63. Included in that price is $13 for a concert ticket and the cost of 2 passes, one for the rides and one for the game booths. Each of the passes costs the same price. Write an equation representing the cost of the trip, and determine the price of one pass. Solve your equation by showing your work and steps. i need someone to break it down step by step to help me understand

Answer 1

63-13=50   50 divede by 2 cu is the same price for both 25 and 25
25+25+13 GAMES AND RIDE are 25 each and the concert 13

Answer 2

Ok,

The total is 63$:

= 63

It shows us one of the numbers for the equation, 13

+ 13 = 63

Two passes together plus the thirteen equals the total of 63$

the price of the pass is unknown, so we can use a variable to figure it out:

2x + 13 = 63

Now we solve

First subtract 13 from both sides:

2x + 13 - 13 = 63 - 13

Then divide both sides by 2:

2x ÷ 2 = 50 ÷ 2

Now we get our answer:

x = 25
