Yes. Think of it like this. You borrowed $1 from your friend for a candy bar. You now have -$1 because you owe your friend money. If you ask your friend for another $5 because you found another thing you wanted you have -$6. When you already have a negative, you are subtracting even more from that, which brings you to an even higher negative number

$2x - 6 = 60 - x \\ add \: x \: to \:both \: sides \\ 2x + x - 6 = 60 - x + x \\ 3x - 6 = 60 \\ add \: 6 \: to \: both \: sides \\ 3x - 6 + 6 = 60 + 6 \\ 3x = 66 \\ divide \: both \: sides \: by \: 3 \\ \frac{3x}{3} = \frac{66}{3} \\ x = 22$

At the movie theatre, child admission is $5.20 and adult admission is $8.60. On Sunday, 132 tickets were sold for a total sales

xxMikexx [17]

Answer:

60 tickets for children were sold

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of sold children's tickets and let y be the number of adult tickets sold, then we can pose the following equations.

$x + y = 132$ (i) Because 132 tickets were sold in total

$5.20x + 8.60y = 931.20$ (ii) because the total of $ obtained by sales was 931.20.

We must clear x. Then we substitute (i) in (ii)

$5.20x +8.60(132-x) = 931.20$

$5.20x + 1135.2 - 8.60x = 931.20$

$-3.4x = -204$

$x = 60$
