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.
\n" ); document.write( "-----------
\n" ); document.write( "Let the cost of a child ticket be \"x\" ; Value of three is 3x
\n" ); document.write( "----------------
\n" ); document.write( "The cost of an adult ticket is \"x+2\" ; value of one is x+2
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "EQUATION:
\n" ); document.write( "3x + x+2 = 32
\n" ); document.write( "4x = 30
\n" ); document.write( "x = $7.50 (cost of a child ticket)
\n" ); document.write( "x+2 = $9.50 (cost of an adult ticket)
\n" ); document.write( "===========================
