Fun times amusement park charges a $5 admission fee plus $1.25 per ride. if jesse spent $13.75, how many rides did she go on?

Let’s figure out how much Jesse spent on just rides...

$13.75 - $5 = $8.75

Okay, now that we know Jesse spent $8.75 on rides, we can determine how many rides she went on

$8.75 ÷ $1.25 = 7

Let’s check our work:

$1.25 x 7 = $8.75

Therefore, Jesse went on 7 rides at the amusement park

Hope this helps

x=-2

step-by-step explanation:

i began by flipping the problem to give me x= on the left (keeps it clearer for me).   so my problem simply became 10x-3=4x-6.  

1)   subtract 4x from the right side, which equals 0.   you do the same to the left of the equal as the right; therefore, subtract 4x from 10x, leaving 6x on the left.

              10x-3=4x-6   :   4x-4x on the right leaves only the -6        

2)             6x-3= 0-6 :    

                6x+3=   -6

3) divide
