1) Substitute $9.75 into d. So, 43-3(9.75)

2) 43 - 29.25 = $13.75

The answer is $13.75

Koby has $13.75 left over after buying the tickets.

To find this answer, you use the equation given (43 - 3d) and fill in $9.75 for the variable "d". The equation now says "43 - 3 * $9.75", which you simply solve using PEMDAS.

3 * $9.75 = $29.25

$43 - $29.25 = $13.75

Thus meaning $13.75 is your answer. I hope this helps!
