2x + 6 = 4x/2 + 12/2
To solve this, we need to transpose like terms to the same side.
2x - 4x/2 = 12/2 - 6
2x - 2x = 6 - 6
0 = 0
Since both sides are zero, it means that the equation has infinite number of solutions.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know:
397 total
53 fewer student tickets than adult tickets
Variables: A for adult tickets, S for student tickets
Known Equations:
a + s = 397
a = s + 53
Solving:
2s + 53 = 397 so 2s = 344 so s = 172
s + a = 397
172 + (172 + 53) = 397 so 172 + 225 = 397
Adult tickets sold: 225
Student tickets sold: 172
