Answer 1

x = price of the movie at night

x = $9 + $1

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the price of the movie at night, so, let's call x the price of the movie at night.

Then, the price of the matinee movie $9 is $1 less than the price in the evening. Therefore, we can write the following equation:

9 = x - 1

Solving for x, we get:

x = 9 + 1
