Question

The cost of performance tickets and beverages for a family of four can be modeled using the equation 4x + 12 = 48, where x

Answer 1

For this case we have the following equation:

$4x + 12 = 48$

Where the variable "x" represents the cost of a performance ticket.

Clear "x" of the equation to know the cost of a ticket.

Subtracting 12 on both sides of the equation:

$4x = 48-12\\4x = 36$

Dividing between 4 on both sides of the equation:

$x = \frac {36} {4}\\x = 9$

So, the cost of a ticket is $ 9.00

Answer:

Option C

Answer 2

Answer:

$9.00

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 12 = 48         - First, subtract 12 from each side of the equation.

4x = 36                 - Then, divide each side by 4 to get x by itself.

x = 9                     - After dividing by 4, we are left with x = 9, so 1 ticket costs

                              $9.00
