Question

Sarah decides to take her six-year-old son to the circus the price for the child ticket is $4.75 dollars Less in the price for the adult ticket if we represent the price for the child ticket using the variable X how would you write the algebraic expression for the adult ticket price

Answer 1

Since the child ticket is y-4.75 (saying y is the adult ticket), we need to solve for y in y-4.75=x. Adding 4.75 to both sides, we get y=x+4.75
