Ok, so she has 14 tickets and each ride cost 2 so that can be modeled with the following expression: x= 14-2y since she initially bought 14 tickets and 2 times the number of tickets she spends. To find the equivalent expression you could basically switch up the formula like so: 7*2-2y=x because you just need an equivalent expression, and you don't need to have such a different formula or anything like that. Hope I helped!
