Answer:

Adult ticket = $9

Student ticket = $6

Step-by-step explanation:

x = price of student ticket

x + 3 = price of adult ticket

______

[12(x+3)] + 8x = 156

Use the distributive property to simplify the process.

12x + 36 + 8x = 156

Combine common terms.

20x + 36 = 156

Use inverse operations

[-(-36)] 20x + -36 = 156 [-(-36)]

20x = 120

x = 6

Answer:

Adult ticket is for $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Student ticket for x

Adult ticket for x+3

Now given that:

Adult tickets + Students Tickets = $156

12(x+3) + 8 (x) = $156

12x + 36 + 8x = $156

20x +36 = $156

20x = $(156-36)

20x = $120

x= $ (120/20)

x= $6  This is Student Ticket cost

Adult ticket cost is:

x+3 = $6 + $3 = $9
