Answer 1

Each movie ticket was 9 dollars because first you do 24-6=18 then do 18 divided by 2 and you have your answer.

ANSWER: 2

Answer 2

The cost of each movie ticket is $ 9.

Explanation:

Here, m represents the cost of each movie ticket,

Since, the cost of 2 movies tickets = 2m dollars,

Given, the cost of one box of popcorn = $ 6,

Thus, the total spending for 2 movie ticket and one box of popcorn = ( 2m + 6 ) dollars

According to the question,

2m + 6 = 24,

Subtract 6 on both sides,

2m = 18

Divide both sides by 2

m = 9,

Hence, the cost of each movie ticket is $ 9.
