Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
so first you need to make a equation
since we are trying to find out the amount of rides we can make that stand for x so..
we can first write it as 2.50x
(x = the numbers of rides)
since the entree fee is 17 dollars but they are two kids we have to times 17 by 2 giving us 34 we can add 34 dollars to the equation
34 + 2.50x
alex and kendra have only $51.50 dollars and they cant spend more then that so that means the whole equation has to equal $51.50
34 + 2.50x = 51.50
since we are trying to find the number of rides we can subtract 34 on both sides giving us
2.50x = 51.50 - 34
2.50x = 17.50
then we solve for x which you can divde 2.50 on both sides
x = 17.50 /2.50
x = 7
