Question

6 Friends all use two dollars off coupon to buy them selves movie tickets they spend a total of $42 what is the price of one movie ticket without the coupon

Answer 1

The price of one movie ticket without a coupon would be $9.

Explanation:

one movie ticket: x

$42 = 6(x- 2)

$42 = 6x- $12

Move the 12 to the other side.

42 = 6x - 12

+ 12 +12

____________

54 = 6x

Now divide 6 from both sides.

`(54)/(6)` =
`(6x)/(6)`

9 = x

Answer 2

The answer is $7

Explanation:

The answer is $7 because $42 divided by 6 = 7.
