Answer:
Option B. $76.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation represents the situation, where x represents the regular price of an adult ticket.
194 = x + 2 ( x-8 )
Now we multiply the equation by 2
2 × 194 = 2 [ x + 2 (x-8) ]
388 = x + 4 ( x-8 )
388 = x + 4x - 32
388 = 5x - 32
388 + 32 = 5x
420 = 5x
5x = = 84
And it has been given in the question that the regular price of a child's entry is $8 less than that of an adult ticket.
So child's ticket will cost = 84 - 8 = $76
Option B. $76 is the answer.

Answer:
-5 and -4
Step-by-step explanation:
It is far easier just to solve the equation than to determine appropriate integer bounds on the solution.
In the attachment, we show a couple of initial trials at solutions. The nearness of y=5 to being correct suggests that the next higher integer may be helpful, too. It is.
We find -4 and -5 to bracket the solution.
