" If you represent the price for the child's ticket using the variable "x" "
Price of child's ticket = x

"The price for the adult ticket is 2.75 dollars more than the price for the child's ticket."
to represent $2.75 more, you add $2.75 to x, the price of the child's ticket
Answer is x + 2.75
