Isolate the x. Note the equal sign. What you do to one side, you do to the other.
First, subtract 2 from both sides
2 (-2) - x = (5/8) - 2
-x = 5/8 - 2
Make sure they have the same denominator. Remember that what you multiply to the denominator, you multiply the numerator:
-x = 5/8 - 16/8
-x = - 11/8
Isolate the x. Divide -1 from both sides
(-x)/-1 = (-11/8)/-1
x = 11/8
11/8 is your answer for x

Alright this is gonna be a long one
Lets called child tickets x and adult tickets y
so x + y should be equal to 159 since they said that the total sum of the tickets is 159
so thats your first equation : x + y = 159
next form an equation using the prices,
5.40x + 8.70y = 1079.70
now that you have your two equations, just substitute the first into the second (you could either substitute for x or y by saying x = 159-y or that y=159-x)
Hope this helps.

Answer:
$84
Step-by-step explanation:
1. If 20% is marked off, then you are selling it for 80%.
2. 455 * 80% = 364
3. Since you are finding the cost markup from 280, then 364-280=84
