Answer 8

use the equation 11.25=2x+x which is the same as saying 11.25=3x and then divide 11.25 by 3 for 3.75time that by 2 to get the price of the movie

Answer 9

m- cost of movie
p- cost of popcorn
m+p= 11.25
m= 2p
2p +p = 11.25
3p = 11.25
p= $3.75
m = 2p
m= 2( 3.75)
m= $7.50
the movie costs $7.50
so subtract that from the total $11.25
to get the cost of the popcorn
which is $3.75
