Answer:
Step-by-step explanation: 186x+16, so for each ticket you add 186 so, thats were x comes in, 186 times 6 ( six is x), is 1116 plus 16 is 1113. So, Gilbert purchased 6 tickets plus the fee. the equation would be 186(6)+16.
Answer:
Equation is [tex]1132=186*x+16[/tex]
The Gilberts purchased 6 tickets
Step-by-step explanation:
x is the number of tickets purchased.
As $186 is the price for each ticket, you multiply 186 by x, to obtain the total amount paid for the tickets (no fees).
Also, you add the flat fee for the transaction that is 16 and as this fee is not depending on the amount of tickets purchased, you add 16 as a fixed number.
Then you have that 186*x+16 is equal to the total cost of the transation that is given and it is $1132.
Then you have the equation:
[tex]1132=186*x+16[/tex]
Next, you isolate the x:
[tex]1132-16=186*x[/tex]
[tex]1116=186*x[/tex]
[tex]1116/186=x[/tex]
[tex]6=x[/tex]
The Gilberts purchased 6 tickets
