8 number of visits will be the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card

Explanation:

Adult's Ticket $15 $12

Let x be the number of visits

Price without discount card for 2 adults and 1 child ticket

Price without discount for x visits =
`x(15 * 2+ 10)=40x`

Price with discount for x visits =
`57+ x(12 * 2+ 8)=57+32x`

Now to find For what number of visits will the total cost of the visits (including the price of the discount card) be less expensive for a family of 2 adults and 1 child if they have purchased the discount card
