Let the number = x

Set up the equation:

3(x-14) = 3

Simplify:

3x -42 = 3

Add 42 to both sides

3x = 45

Divide both sides by3

X = 15

The number is 15

PLEASE HELP! For a concert 5,000 tickets were sold, and the proceeds were $72,000. Tickets for children 16 and younger were $10,

patriot [66]

A: the first answer is the best option

if there is a total of 5000 tickets, and we know there were adults, children, and seniors, then the equation:
c + a + s = 5000 is correct

if we are using c, a, and s as variables for how many children, adults, and seniors were in attendance, then by matching the corresponding price, we should have the equation:
$72000= 10c + 20a + 15s

lastly, if we know the amnt of children in attendance was 3x more than the amnt of seniors, the equation:
3s = c is best because by multiplying the number of seniors in attendance by 3, you will get 3x more children than seniors

hope this helps, and is correct :)!
