Using a variable for the price of each movie ticket, write an equation that models the situation above.
Answer : 3m + 3(5.25) = 42.75 let m represent price of movie tickets
Solve your equation :
3m + 3(5.25) = 42.75
3m + 15.75 = 42.75
- 15.75 -15.75 Subtract 15.75 from both sides
3m = 27
Divide both sides by 3
m = 9
