the Gonzales family has three children on summer break they went to an amusement park they bought 3 children tickets for 18.50 and 2 adults tickets if they spent a total of 104.50 how much was the price of the parents
(a) write an equation to represent this situation use x to represent the price of each adult tickets
To get the price of the adult tickets use inverse operation and subtract 18.50 on both sides. When you subtract 18.50 from 104.50 you should get 86. so x = 86.
