Answer:

see below (I hope this makes sense!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Constants, as the name suggest, stay constant, meaning that their value never changes. For example, 2 will always be 2 and 9.4 will always be 9.4. On the other hand, the values of variables can change. Take, for example, the variable 2x. When x = 1, 2x = 2 and when x  =2, 2x = 4 so the value of 2x can change depending on what x is. You can't combine constants and variables because they are not like terms, basically, one can change and the other can't and you cannot combine terms that are not like each other.

Trilobites to concert tickets from her friend she pays $90 for the two tickets she looks at the tickets and see that each ticket
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Her friend gave Sheila a markdown of $15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Amount paid for 2 tickets = $90

Actual amount for each ticket = $52.50

we need to find the markdown value did her friend gave to Shelia.

Solution:

each ticket = $52.50

2 tickets = Cost of 2 tickets.

By using unitary method we get;

Cost of 2 tickets = 52.50\times 2 =\$105.00

Now To find the markdown we will subtract the Amount paid for 2 tickets from the actual Amount of 2 tickets.

framing in equation form we get;

Markdown 105-90 =\$15

Hence her friend gave sheila a markdown of $15.
