Answer:

total cost equation = ( 9+x) times 4 = 724. Total,price of a ticket is 162$

Explanation:

Since insurance for each ticket costs 19$ and the family bought four and the ticket itself costs x, the costs of the four tickets is (19+x) times 4. If thr total cost is 724 then we can take 19 times4 and subtract that from it because 19times 4 + x times 4 is the same as (19+x) times 4. From this we fet 648. Now we have x4 or x times 4 = 648 leftover, so divided 648 by 4 to get one x out of it since it is made up of four x. You get 162 from this, so the price of a ticket without insurance is 162$
