The price for an adult carnival ticket is 6.5 more than a carnival ticket for a child. Bob takes his son to the carnival. He buys cotton candy for $10.25, and spends $55. Write and solve a linear equation to find the prices for each of their carnival tickets.

Assign variable (x) to the expensive ticket 
(x - 6.5) - 10.25 = 55
--------
Simplify
x+16.75=55
-------------
Subtract 16.75 to each side
x=38.25
-----------------------
x = 38.25
This should be the highest ticket price
55 - 38.25 = 16.75
This is the lowest
