There are two different approaches to this problem (that i know of), and one is to multiply tbe entire equation to get rid of the fractions (and solve from there), or to subtract 3/4 from both sides of the equation, divide by 1/4 on both sides, and get x. I'll just explain the second approach since it's a bit more difficult. So, as i said before, you would first have to subtract 3/4 from both sides. This leaves you with 1/4x on the left side and 21/4 on the other (to find this just change the denominator of 6/1 to 4 by multiplying it by 4/4, which leaves you with 24/4, subtract 3/4, and you got 21/4). Then divide by 1/4. To do this, simply multiply both sides by 4 (to cancel out the fraction). Then that leaves you with the final answer of 84/4 (simplified : 21).
Answer:
Let the price of one senior citizen ticket be <em>sc</em> and the price of one student ticket be <em>st</em>.
Let's write equations using the information given and the variables above:
=> 5sc + 15st = $137.50
=> 20sc + 44st = $430
Hmm.. We can multiply 5sc by 4 to get 20sc.
=> 4(5sc) + 4(15st) = 4($137.50)
=> 20sc + 60st = $550
Now we can subtract the second equation from the first to determine the price of a student ticket.
20sc + 60st = $550
- 20sc + 44st = $430
=> 16st = $120
=> st = $7.5
So, the price of a student ticket is $7.5.
