it costs $12 for admission to the Fair, plus $0.50 for each ticket yo play games. if you have a total of $30 to spend, what is the greatest amount of tickets you can buy?
First you set up your equation, which would be 12 + 0.50x = 30. Next you subtract 12 on both sides to get 0.50x = 18. Divide both sides by 0.50 to get x = 36.
