Tickets to the baseball game are on sale for $1.50 off the regular price. Dea buys 6 tickets. If her total cost is $51, what is the regular price of each ticket? Write and solve an equation of the form p(x±q)=r

. Then write a sentence to explain your answer.(4 points) simplifying the answer a lot to make it look like a 11-12 y old rot it with good Grammer tho

Let the regular price of each ticket be \( p \).

Since the tickets are on sale for $1.50 off, the sale price of each ticket is \( p - 1.50 \).

Dea buys 6 tickets, and her total cost is $51. We can write the following equation:

\[ 6(p - 1.50) = 51 \]

Now, let's solve the equation step by step:

  1. Distribute the 6: \[ 6p - 9 = 51 \]

  2. Add 9 to both sides: \[ 6p = 51 + 9 \] \[ 6p = 60 \]

  3. Divide both sides by 6: \[ p = \frac{60}{6} \] \[ p = 10 \]

So, the regular price of each ticket is $10.

In simpler words, the regular price of each baseball ticket is $10. Dea got a really good deal since she bought them for cheaper, but the original price was $10.

I said good grammer

I apologize for that! Here’s a revised version with good grammar:

Let the regular price of each ticket be \( p \).

Since the tickets are on sale for $1.50 off, the sale price of each ticket is \( p - 1.50 \).

Dea buys 6 tickets, and her total cost is $51. We can write the following equation:

\[ 6(p - 1.50) = 51 \]

Now, let's solve the equation step by step:

  1. Distribute the 6: \[ 6p - 9 = 51 \]

  2. Add 9 to both sides: \[ 6p = 51 + 9 \] \[ 6p = 60 \]

  3. Divide both sides by 6: \[ p = \frac{60}{6} \] \[ p = 10 \]

So, the regular price of each ticket is $10.

In conclusion, the regular price of each baseball ticket is $10. Dea was able to buy the tickets for less because they were on sale, but their original price was $10 each.
