This equation shows that the base rice that you must pay is $9.50 (the cost of your ticket). $6.00n represents the cost of however many additional tickets you purchase for n friends. Say 3 friends decide to come, your n value is 3.
You would need to do the following to determine the price you need to pay for 3 friends:
6.00(3) = 18.00 (this is how much you'd pay for 3 friends)
You must add your ticket price to $18.00 to find y (the total amount you must pay for yourself and your 3 friends). So you must do the following:
y = 9.50 + 6.00(3)
y = 9.50 + 18.00
y = 27.50 (this is the total price you'll pay for everyone attending
