Answer 1

Answer:

The equation used to find the 'x',the number of movie tickets purchased is  $90+6x=108$.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have attached the complete question for your reference since certain data were missing.

Given:

Cost of General Admission tickets = $18

Total spent by whole group = $108

Cost of each Movie tickets = $6

Number of  General admission tickets purchased = 5

We need to write an equation used to find the number of movie tickets purchased.

Solution:

Let the number of movie tickets purchased be 'x'.

So we can say that;

Total spent by whole group is equal to sum of Number of  General admission tickets purchased multiplied by Cost of General Admission ticket and number of movie tickets purchased multiplied by cost of each movie tickets.

framing in equation form we get;

$5\times 18+6\times x =108\\\\90+6x=108$

Hence The equation used to find the 'x',the number of movie tickets purchased is  $90+6x=108$.
