Answer:
Multiply by 6 on both sides
X-8 = 27
add 8 to both sides
X = 35
Hope this helps
Double-checking
35 - 8 = 27
27 / 6 = 4.5
35 = X is the answer

The answer to your question is B
Answer:
57
Step-by-step explanation:
Let c represent the number of children ($1.75 each) and a represent the number of adults ( $2.00 each).
We know that there were 340 people total, so c + a = 340. This implies that a = 340 - c
We also know that $1.75 c + $2.00 a = $609.25
By substituting a with 340 -c we have $1.75 c + $2.00 (340 -c) = $609.25
Use the distributive property to obtain $1.75 c + $680 - $2.00 c = $609.25
Subtract $680 from both sides and combine like terms to get - $0.25 c = -
$70.75
Now, divide both sides by -$0.25 to get c = 283, the number of children.
The number of adults is 340 - c or 340 - 283 = 57
