Solve an equation to answer the question

Jose bought 2 movie tickets and a box of popcorn. The popcorn cost $6, and he spent a total of $24. How much did each ticket cost? Use m to represent the cost of each movie ticket.

A. 6m+2=24 m=3 ; each ticket cost $3.

B. 2m+6=24 m=9 ; each ticket cost $9.

C. 2m+6=24 m=15 ; each ticket cost $15.

D. 6m+2=24 m=4 ; each ticket cost $4.

Respuesta :

2m + 6 = 24

Subtract 6 from both sides.

2m = 18

Divide both sides by 2.

m = 9

Hope this helps!

Answer:

B) 2m+6=24 m=9 ; each ticket cost $9.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Jose bought 2 movie tickets and a box of popcorn. The popcorn cost $6, and he spent a total of $24.

Here "m" represents the cost of each movie ticket.

Now let's form an equation.

2m + box of popcorn = $24

Box of popcorn cost $6

So,

2m + 6 = 24

Now, we have to solve for m.

Subtract 6 from both sides, we get

2m + 6 - 6 = 24 - 6

2m = 18

Dividing both sides by 2, we get

2m/2 = 18/2

m = 9

So, the cost of movie ticket is $9 each.

Therefore, the answer is B) 2m+6=24 m=9 ; each ticket cost $9.
