Movie tickets for an adult and three children cost $32. An adult's ticket costs $2 more than child's ticket. Find the cost of the adult ticket.
-----------
Let the cost of a child ticket be "x" ; Value of three is 3x
----------------
The cost of an adult ticket is "x+2" ; value of one is x+2
----------------------------------
EQUATION:
3x + x+2 = 32
4x = 30
x = $7.50 (cost of a child ticket)
x+2 = $9.50 (cost of an adult ticket)
