online concert tickets cost $37 each. plus a service charge of $8.50 per ticket. the website also charges a transaction fee of $14.99 for the purchase. you paid $242.49, how many tickets did you buy

Question

I believe the equation would be:$$242.49=37x+8.50x+14.99$$
First, subtract 14.99 from both sides.$$227.5=37x+8.50x$$
Now combine like terms.$$227.5=45.5x$$
Divide 45.5 from both sides.$$x=5$$

You would have bought 5 tickets.
