Question

Whould anyone mind helping please. The first box says 6.25x+12x=30.75 the second box says 6.25x+12=30.75 3rd box says 6.25x+30.75=12 the 4th box says 30.75+12=6.75x . the last drop down says how many people went to the movies 2,3,4,5 .

Answer 1

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies

Explanation:

We will write the equation to represent this scenario.

Let x be the number of people who went for movies.

Then the price of ticket for x people will be: 6.25x

They spent $12 on refreshments and a total of $30.75 so the equation will be:

`6.25x+12=30.75`

solving the equation will give us total number of people

So,

`6.25x+12 = 30.75\\6.25x = 30.75-12\\6.25x = 18.75\\(6.25x)/(6.25) =(18.75)/(6.25)\\x = 3`

Hence,

The correct equation is: 6x+12 = 30.75

And 3 people went to the movies
