4. Tickets are on sale for $1.50 off regular price. Dez buys 6 tickets and spends $51. Write and solve equation for t tickets in form p(x -q) =r
Let t be the number of tickets Dez buys.
The cost of each ticket after the discount is $1.50 less than the regular price, so the cost of each ticket is (x - $1.50).
The total cost Dez spends on tickets is given by the equation t(x - $1.50) = $51.
To solve the equation, we need to find the values of t, x, and q:
t(x - $1.50) = $51
We need to subtract the dollar sign and change it to 1.50 to correctly represent the equation:
t(x - 1.50) = 51
Therefore, the equation in the required form is p(x - q) = r, where p = t, q = 1.50, and r = 51.
