Question

Grace and her dad are planning to attend to State Fair. an adult ticket is $15 the price of an adult ticket is half the price of a student ticket plus $8. write an equation to determine how much grace will pay for the student ticket​

Answer 1

(1/2)x + 8 = 15

Explanation:

Answer 2

Equation:

`15=(1)/(2)x+8`

Student ticket price = $14

Explanation:

An adult ticket = $15

Let a student ticket = $x

An adult ticket is half the price of a student ticket plus $8, then an adult ticket

`=\$\left((1)/(2)x+8\right)`

Equate the prices for the adult ticket:

`15=(1)/(2)x+8`

Subtract 8 from both sides:

`15-8=(1)/(2)x+8-8\\ \\7=(1)/(2)x`

Multiply this equation by 2:

`7\cdot 2=x\\ \\x=\$14`
