Tickets are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price. Dez buys 6 tickets and spends $51. Write and solve the equation for t tickets in the form p(x -q) =r
Let x be the regular price of a ticket.
The sale price of a ticket is x - $1.50.
Dez buys 6 tickets at the sale price, so he spends 6 * (x - $1.50) = $51.
Simplifying the equation, we get 6x - $9 = $51.
Adding $9 to both sides of the equation, we get 6x = $60.
Dividing both sides of the equation by 6, we get x = $10.
The regular price of a ticket is $10.
So, the equation for t tickets in the form p(x -q) =r is p(t-6) = 51.
