First condense using the rules of logs.
Log base 2 ((x-2)/5) = 1
Do a base power 2 to each side to clear the log base 2.
2^ log base 2 ((x-2)/5) = 2^1
(x-2)/5 = 2
Multiply both sides by 5
x-2 = 10
Add 2 to both sides
x = 12

Let number of adult tickets be a , therefore number of student ticket be a+4 .

And total cost of the tickets is 58, that is

$3.50a +2.50(a+4)=58$

Distributing 2.50 on a+4

$3.50a+2.50a+10=58$

Combining like terms

$6a=48
\\
a=8$

Number of adult tickets are 8 and number of students tickets are 12.

None of the given options are matching. For the expression after putting the value 2 on the place of x. We will get 10 for expression 1 and 0 for the expression 2.

<h3>How can we find the solution to an equation?</h3>

We do same operations on both the sides so that equality of both expressions doesn't get disturbed.

Solving equations generally means finding the values of the variables used in it for which the considered equation is true.

The given equation is;
