Joe decides to take his six year old son to the planetarium. The price for the child's ticket is 5.75 dollars less than the pric
e for the adult's ticket. If you represent the price for the child's ticket using the variable "x", how would you write the algebraic expression for the adult's ticket price?
Okay, we know the price of the child's ticket (x), which is 5.75 dollars less than the adult's ticket. Let's say that the price of the adult's ticket is a. Since the child's ticket is 5.75 less that the adult's ticket, we can write it this way: a = 5.75 + x
