angies movie ticket cost $2.00 less than her father's. her father paid $17.00 for both tickets. find the cost of each ticket.

Question

 its a word problem

Answer 1

let x be angies ticket price, so her father's ticket price is x+2

 

total ticket price is: x+ x+ 2 = 17

so 2x+2=17

so 2x = 15

and x = 7.5

 

so angies ticket cost $7.5, her father ticket cost $9.5
