I guess B. That statement is grammatically incorrect.
We can distribute
2(5)+2(-x)=10-2x
we get
8+10-2x=?
18-2x=?
whatever that ? is, we don't know
multiply both sides by -1
2x-18=-?
add 18 to both sides
2x=18-?
divide bth sides by 2
x=9-(?/2)
whatever the left side it, just divide it by 2 and subtract it from 9
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
I think the answer might be 45
Let 2x=student tickets
Let x=adult tickets
2x+x=408
3x=408
x=136
2x=272
Number of student tickets sold:272
Number of adult tickets sold:136
