Let "x" be a substitute for "a number"
1/3(x)=x-12 Multiply by 3
x=3x-36 Get n onto the same side of the equation
2x=36 Divide by 2
x=18
That's your answer.
In decimal form=-7.37
In fraction form plzz refer to the attachment
The experimental probability can be represented as a fraction of the number of times a five was not the result over the total number of times the cube was rolled.
The answer would be 288/350 or 144/175.
X = adult tickets and x+58 = student tickets
Create the equation from the problem.
x + x + 58 = 708
Combine like terms.
2x +58 = 708
Subtract 58.
2x = 650
Divide by 2.
x = 325
Therefore, your answer is:
there were 325 adult tickets sold.
(Adding 58 to that number will get you the student tickets sold which is 383 if they ask.)
