Question

Translate the following phrase into an algebraic expression using the variable x. Donot simplify.the cost of x concert tickets if one concert ticket costs $83

Answer 1

We have from the question that one ticket cost $83, that is, we have:

`\text{ }\frac{\text{ \$83}}{ticket}`

If we need to know the cost of x concert tickets, then we need to proceed as follows:

`\begin{gathered} x\text{ ticket}*\frac{\text{ \$83}}{ticket} \\ \\ x*83=83x \end{gathered}`

Therefore, in summary, we can translate the expression as 83x.
