Answer 1

3x-12=78

Explanation:

This is my thinking:

So because x is the cost of the weekend admission, the problem says 12 less than 3 times the cost of the weekend admission. The 3 times the cost of the weekend admission is the 3x, and the problem says 12 less than and that is the -12. And the whole equation is being taken from 78, so

3x-12=78.

Answer 2

Explanation:

We have

Summer membership + $12 = 3(Weekend pass).

=> ($78) + ($12) = 3x

=> 3x = $90

=> x = $30.

Hence the weekend admission is $30.
