Question

The regular price of a child's entry ticket to a water park is $6 less than that for an adult's. The park offers half off of all entry tickets during the off-peak season. The Sandlers paid a total of $78 for 1 adult ticket and 2 child's tickets to the water park during the off-peak season. The following equation represents this situation, where x represents the regular price of an adult ticket.

78 = one-halfx + (x - 6)

What is the regular price of a child's ticket?

$50

$56

$75

$81

Answer 1

\[78=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+(x-6)\]

Answer 5

\(78=\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+(x-6) \)

multiply left and right wid 2

\(78*2 =2*\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }x+2*(x-6) \)

\(78*2 =x+2x-12 \)

simplify and solve x first

156=3x-12
156+12=3x
168=3x
