On a sunday afternoon, 11 children and 5 adults visit the culver city museum of math oddities at a total admission price of $158.00. Adult tickets cost $6.00 more than children tickets. What is the price of an adult ticket?
Answered by Reiny
kid's ticket ---- $x
adult's ticket ---- $ x+6

11x + 5(x+6) = 158

Solve for x and all shall be revealed.
