Let p be the regular price of each ticket. The discounted price of each ticket is p - $1.50. Dea buys 6 tickets at the discounted price, so her total cost is 6(p - $1.50) = $51. Simplifying the equation, we get 6p - 9 = 51. Adding 9 to both sides, we get 6p = 60. Dividing both sides by 6, we get p = 10. Therefore, the regular price of each ticket is $10. Dea bought 6 tickets at $1.50 off the regular price, so her total cost is $10 x 6 - $1.50 x 6 = $60 - $9 = $51.

So, Dea wanted to go to a baseball game and bought 6 tickets. The tickets were on sale and were $1.50 cheaper than the regular price. In total, Dea paid $51 for all the tickets. We need to figure out the original price of each ticket. To do that, we can write an equation. Let's say the regular price of each ticket is 'p'. Since Dea bought 6 tickets, her total cost is 6 times the regular price minus $1.50 each. This equals $51. To find the regular price, we can solve the equation: 6p - $9 = $51. By adding $9 to both sides, we get 6p = $60. After dividing both sides by 6, we find that the regular price of each ticket is $10.
