17 = 3(4x - 5)
<em><u>Distributive property.</u></em>
17 = 12x - 15
<em><u>Add 15 to both sides.</u></em>
32 = 12x
<em><u>Divide both sides by 12.</u></em>
x = 2.67. (This is your answer.)
Let me know if you have any questions.
Remove parentheses
3m - 7m+12 = 2 m-3
collect like terms
3m-7m-12 = 2m-6
move terms
-4m - 12 = 2m-6
collect the like terms and calculate
-4m-2m = -6+12
divide both sides by -6
-6m=6
m= -1
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
a+s=14
a=14-s
a+8s=56, using a from above in this equation gives
14-s+8s=56
14+7s=56
7s=42
s=6
a=14-s
a=14-6=8
So student tickets cost $6 and adult tickets cost $8.
