Question

Four friends went to a local amusement park. Three of the friends bought ride tickets for x dollars, plus a game pass for $10. The other friend bought just a ride ticket. Write and simplify an expression showing the amount of total money spent.

Answer 1

4x + 30

X=$10 dollars for each ticket the whole is $70

Answer 2

4X + 30 = TOTAL AMOUNT OF MONEY

Explanation:

All of them bought a ride ticket (that explains the 4x)

3 of them also bought a game pass thet costs $10 each. That explains the 30

going deeper: If the total amount of money was $70

The tickets would've costed $10 each.

Look:

4x + $30 = $70

4x = 70 - 30

4x = 40

x = 40/4

x =$10
