Question

Tickets for a school play cost $6 each. Brandy sold 8 tickets to her father, then sold another x tickets to her aunt. Brandy ended up collecting $66.

Write an equation that can be used to find x, number of tickets sold to her aunt.

PLS HELP I DONT UNDERSTAND

Answer 1

The equation would be: 48 + 6x = 66

I got the 48 from —> 8 x 6 = $48


To solve the equation:
48 + 6x = 66
6x = 18
x = 3

So, he sold 3 tickets to his aunt.

Answer 2

I think this should be right.
ANYONE CAN CORRECT ME!!
what I did was 8 times 6 which is 48 then I did 66 subtracted by 48 and I got 18 but why would brandy give her grandmother 18 tickets?? THATS WHAT IM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT??
