The equation that can be used to find the price of an adult ticket, t, is:
3(t - 5) = 45.
Denny bought tickets to the circus. He bought 3 child tickets. The child tickets were $5 less than the adult tickets. He spent $45 total. Which equation can be used to find the price of an adult ticket, t?(1 point) Responses 3(t−5)=45 3 times open paren t minus 5 close paren is equal to 45 5(3t+3)=45 5 times open paren 3 t plus 3 close paren is equal to 45 3(2t−5)=45 3 times open paren 2 t minus 5 close paren is equal to 45 45(t−5)=3

Tell why is isn't 3(2t - 5) = 45
The equation 3(2t - 5) = 45 is not the correct equation to use because it does not represent the given information in the problem.
The problem states that Denny bought 3 child tickets, which were $5 less than the adult tickets. This means that the child tickets cost t - $5, where t represents the price of an adult ticket.
To find the total amount Denny spent, the equation should be 3(t - 5) = 45, which accounts for the 3 child tickets costing $45 in total.
