Ms. Bailey is taking her children and their friends to the movies. She will pay $10 for her adult ticket and $6 for each child ticket. Ms. Bailey spends $46.00 at the movies. Write and solve an equation to determine the number of child tickets Ms. Bailey purchases.

Respuesta :

Equation

10+6x=46

subtract both sides by 10

10-10  46-10

to get 6x=36

divide both sides by six to isolate the variable

6x/6  36/6

which gives you

x=6
