Complete question :
Kate had 50 tickets to use for rides at the fair. She lost some of them. Her dad doubled the tickets she had left. Kate wrote the expression 2(50−t) to find the number of tickets she has now, where t t is the number of tickets she lost. Jack correctly wrote another expression, 100−2t, to find the number of tickets Kate has now. Use the drop-down menus to explain what each part of Kate's and Jack's expressions mean.
Answer:
50 means Kate's initial number of tickets
t = number of tickets she lost
2 = multiple by which her dad gave ; two times the number of her remaining tickets.
100 = double the number of initial tickets
2t = two times the number of tickets lost
Step-by-step explanation:
Kate's expression :
2(50 - t)
50 means Kate's initial number of tickets
t = number of tickets she lost
2 = multiple by which her dad gave ; two times the number of her remaining tickets.
Jack's expression:
100 - 2t
Jack's expression is an expanded for of Kate's equation
100 = double the number of initial tickets
2t = two times the number of tickets lost
2(50 - t) :
(2 * 50) - (2 * t)
100 - 2t
