Set the two expressions equal to each other.
7x + 3 = 9x
Simplify, isolate the x, subtract 7x from both sides
7x (-7x) + 3 = 9x (-7x)
3 = 2x
Set the equation = 0, subtract 3 from both sides
3 (-3) = 2x (-3)
0 = 2x - 3
2x - 3, or D, should be your answer
hope this helps
We can set up 2 equations given the information.
Let the price of advance ticket be represented by A and same day ticket by S
A + S = 50
20A + 40S = 1700
Solve for A in the first equation by subtracting S on both sides.
U will get A = 50 - S
Now substitute 50 - S for A in the second equation.
20 (50 - S) + 40S = 1700
1000 - 20S + 40S = 1700
20S = 700
S = 35
Same day ticket costs $35 and advance ticket costs $15
