Sam and two friends went to the movies for Sam's birthday. They shared a large box of popcorn costing $6, and they spent a total of $21. The expression below can be used to find c, the cost of each ticket.
$21 = 3c + $6
How much did each ticket cost?
I'll be glad to check your answer.
I don't get it can you please explain it.
never mind i got it
Good for you! :-)
NO WAY! YOU JUST WANT THE ASNWERS FOR FOCUS (MAYBE FLRODIA)
To find the cost of each ticket, we need to solve the equation:
$21 = 3c + $6
We can start by isolating the term with the variable c. To do that, we subtract $6 from both sides of the equation.
$21 - $6 = 3c
Simplifying the left side of the equation:
$15 = 3c
Now, to find the value of c, we divide both sides of the equation by 3.
$15/3 = 3c/3
Simplifying:
$5 = c
Therefore, each ticket cost $5.
