7x-2(x+1)=6x+14
7x-2x-2=6x+14
5x-6x=14+2
-x=16
x=-16
Answer: 389
Step-by-step explanation: well if there is lollipops for $2.50 each and they sold thrice as many lollipops then they have sold 7.5 of the lollipops and if you sell thrice of the cookies then that will be 31.5 and if you add 7.5 and 31.5 that will be 39 so the real answer is 389.

Answer:
$8.00
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem statement gives two relations between the prices of two kinds of tickets. These can be used to write a system of equations for the ticket prices.
__
<h3>setup</h3>
Let 'a' and 'c' represent the prices of adult and children's tickets, respectively. The given relations can be expressed as ...
a - c = 1.50 . . . . . . . adult tickets are $1.50 more
175a +325c = 3512.5 . . . . . total revenue from ticket sales.
__
<h3>solution</h3>
We are only interested in the price of an adult ticket, so we can eliminate c to give one equation we can solve for 'a'. Using the first equation, an expression for c is ...
c = a -1.50
Substituting that into the second equation, we have ...
175a +325(a -1.50) = 3512.50
500a -487.50 = 3512.50 . . . . . . simplify
500a = 4000 . . . . . . add 487.50
a = 8 . . . . . . . . . divide by 500
An adult ticket costs $8.
