If you pay a one-time fee of $30, you can purchase gold tickets for your local minor league baseball team for only $3 a game. Regular tickets sell at the stadium for $6. How many gold tickets would you need to buy to equal the cost of regular tickets?

Okay, here we go with an equation.
30 + x = 2x [Including the 30 we've already paid]
2x - x = 30 [transposing]
x = 30.
We need to buy 30 golden tickets to equal the cost of 30 regular ones
