Basically you just do the opposite of whatever is being done to x. So, first, you would ADD 7 to both sides to cancel it out from the side where x is. Remember: the goal is to isolate x. So, add 7, and you have:

3x - 7 + 7  > 2 + 7

Note that -7 + 7 = 0. So, we have successfully cancelled out that term. Then, just do the rest of addition:

3x > 9

Then, the the 3 is being multiplied to x, and you want to get rid of it on that side. So, you do the opposite of multiplication, which is division. You can divide the inequality by 3 on both sides to get:

3x / 3 = 9 / 3 or:
x = 3. 

Note that 3x / 3 is equal to 1x or just x. Here we want that 1 to not get rid of x, because we want to find the value of x.

Remember: isolation of x is what you want. If you need more help/have questions, feel free to tell me.

In synthetic division, you start by bringing down the first 1 in the box.  Multiply that by the 1 outside the box and get a 1.  Put that new 1 under the 2 inside the box and add to get 3.  Multiply the  outside the box by that 3 to get 3 and put that new 3 under the -3 in the box and add to get 0.  Multiply that 0 by the 1 outside the box to get 0.  Put that 0 under the 2 and add to get the remainder of 2.  Your answer is 2, C.

Answer:

10.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The cost of an adult ticket is £6 more than that of a child ticket, so will be shown by c+6.

Now, we are told that the cost of four child tickets and two adult tickets is £40.50, so we can put this in an equation and solve for c:

(c+6)+(c+6)+c+c+c+c=40.50

6c+12=40.50

6c=28.50

c=4.75

so, a childs ticket is 4.75

now to find the cost of an adult ticket you add 6,

4.75 + 6

= 10.75
