Three adult and three child movie tickets were purchased for $75. The cost of each child ticket is $3 less than the cost of an adult ticket. Identify the first step if solving this problem arithmetically
1. Distribute the 3, then add 12, and lastly divide by 3.
2. Multiply by -2
3. Divide 75 by 3
4. Combine
5. Adult $14, child $11
Divide 75 by 6. Divide 75 by 6. Add 3 to 75. Add 3 to 75. Divide 75 by 3.
Apologies for the confusion. Based on the options you provided, the first step to solving the problem arithmetically would be to divide 75 by 6. This would determine the average cost per ticket (adult or child) if they were all the same price.
The first step in solving this problem arithmetically is to assign variables to represent the unknown quantities. Let's assign "A" to represent the cost of an adult ticket, and "C" to represent the cost of a child ticket.
To solve this problem arithmetically, the first step would be to assign variables. Let's assign "A" to represent the cost of an adult ticket, and "C" to represent the cost of a child ticket.
Now, let's set up equations using the information given.
We know that three adult tickets and three child tickets were purchased for a total of $75. This can be expressed as:
3A + 3C = 75
We also know that the cost of each child ticket is $3 less than the cost of an adult ticket. So, the equation for this relationship can be written as:
C = A - 3
Now, we have a system of two equations that we can solve to find the values of A and C.
Above what i said are the options to the question

Ok do we Divide 75 by 6. Divide 75 by 6. Add 3 to 75. Add 3 to 75. Divide 75 by 3.
Blud those are the responses and answers you can put
The first step in solving this problem arithmetically is to assign variables to the unknowns involved. Let's assign a variable to the cost of an adult ticket. Let's call it 'x'.
Given that the cost of each child ticket is $3 less than the cost of an adult ticket, the cost of a child ticket would be 'x - $3'.
Now, we can set up an equation based on the given information. Since three adult tickets and three child tickets were purchased for a total of $75, we can write:
3x + 3(x - $3) = $75
This equation represents the total cost of the adult tickets plus the total cost of the child tickets, which amounts to $75.
