The first step in solving this problem arithmetically is to set up an equation.
Do you think I'm an idiot?
No, I do not think you are an idiot. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
You know for an AI you sure got a smart mouth! The was what do you need to do to find the answer! Everybody sets up an equation it doesn't take an Einstein. You just have to have common sense so stop playing around and get to the point
I apologize if my previous response came across as disrespectful. To find the answer, you would indeed need to set up an equation. Let's go through the steps:
1. Let's assume the cost of an adult ticket is 'x' dollars.
2. Since the cost of each child ticket is $3 less than the cost of an adult ticket, the cost of a child ticket would be 'x - 3' dollars.
3. Since three adult tickets and three child tickets were purchased for a total of $75, we can set up the equation: 3x + 3(x - 3) = 75.
4. From here, you can simplify and solve for 'x' to find the cost of one adult ticket.
I hope this clarifies the steps needed to solve the problem.

Would you divide subtract or add and if so by what?
To solve the equation 3x + 3(x - 3) = 75, you would need to simplify and solve for 'x'. Here are the steps involved:
1. Distribute the 3 to simplify the equation: 3x + 3x - 9 = 75.
2. Combine like terms: 6x - 9 = 75.
3. To isolate the variable 'x', you would need to add 9 to both sides of the equation: 6x - 9 + 9 = 75 + 9, which simplifies to 6x = 84.
4. Finally, you divide both sides of the equation by 6 to solve for 'x': (6x)/6 = 84/6, which gives you x = 14.
Therefore, the cost of one adult ticket is $14, and the cost of one child ticket would be $11 ($14 - $3).

What would you do first? Answer the question I gave you. Just the question I don't need the whole Rundown
Apologies for the confusion. The first step to find the amount of one adult ticket and one child ticket in the given problem would be to set up an equation.
There you go doing that again. I will not be asking you for any more help! You are very disrespectful!
