Miguel is selling tickets to a barbecue. Adult tickets cost $7.00 and children's tickets cost $5.00. He sells six more children's tickets than adult tickets. The total amount of money he collects is $234.00. How many adult tickets and how many children's tickets did he sell?

17 adult tickets

23 children's tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult tickets 17x7=119

Child tickets 23x5=115                     23 is 6 more than 17.

119+115=234

37/3

step-by-step explanation:

step 1: simplify both sides of the equation.

7x+8(x+

)=3(6x−9)−8

7x+(8)(x)+(8)(

)=(3)(6x)+(3)(−9)+−8(distribute)

7x+8x+2=18x+−27+−8

(7x+8x)+(2)=(18x)+(−27+−8)(combine like terms)

15x+2=18x+−35

15x+2=18x−35

tep 2: subtract 18x from both sides.

15x+2−18x=18x−35−18x

−3x+2=−35

step 3: subtract 2 from both sides.

−3x+2−2=−35−2

−3x=−37

step 4: divide both sides by -3.
