Question

adams purchase
4 tickets and 4 fees
$y + 8$ $y + 8$ $y + 8$ $y + 8$
100
$4(y + 8) = 100$
linas purchase
4 tickets and 1 fee
$x$ $x$ $x$ $x$ 8
100
$4x + 8 = 100$
find the price, $y$, of each ticket for adam.
$y = \square$

Explanation:

Step1: Divide both sides by 4

To isolate the term with \( y \), we divide both sides of the equation \( 4(y + 8)=100 \) by 4.
\[
\frac{4(y + 8)}{4}=\frac{100}{4}
\]
Simplifying both sides, we get \( y + 8 = 25 \).

Step2: Subtract 8 from both sides

To solve for \( y \), we subtract 8 from both sides of the equation \( y + 8 = 25 \).
\[
y + 8 - 8 = 25 - 8
\]
Simplifying both sides, we find \( y = 17 \).

Answer:

\( y = 17 \)
