First distribute:

2*x = 2x

2*-4 = -8

-3*x = -3x

-3*2 = -6

2x-8=-3x-6

Add 8 to both sides (or vise versa add 6 to both sides). You're adding because both the 8 and 6 are negative.

2x=-3x+2

Now add 3x on both sides (or vice versa subtract 2 on both sides).

5x = 2

Now divide. 5x/5 = 2/5

The 5s get canceled out leaving you with x = 2/5.

Answer:

one regular ticket costs $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume the price of one regular ticket is x;

4x = 120

Divide both sides by 4 to solve for x

x = 120/4

x = 30

Therefore, one regular ticket costs $30
