14.) jasmine is buying tickets for a school
music concert. adult tickets cost $3 more
than student tickets. jasmine is buying 12
adult tickets and 8 student tickets for $156.
how much is an adult ticket? define the
variable.

Adult ticket = $9

Student ticket = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

x = price of student ticket

x + 3 = price of adult ticket

[12(x+3)] + 8x = 156

Use the distributive property to simplify the process.

12x + 36 + 8x = 156

Combine common terms.

20x + 36 = 156

Use inverse operations

[-(-36)] 20x + -36 = 156 [-(-36)]

20x = 120

x = 6

answer: c

step-by-step explanation: because you don't have to draw a point of intersection. couldyou give me brainliest?

u

x = -4

step-by-step explanation:

- 20 - 4(x + 3) = 4x

=> -20 - 4x - 12 = 4x

=> - 32 -4x = 4x

=> -32 = 4x + 4x

=> - 32 = 8x

=> -32/8 = x

=> -4 = x
