THINK What number divided by 2
equals 3?
You know that 2  3 = 6, so try 6 as
your solution
Replace x with 6

Solve
6
mentally
Divide 6 by 2
Bring down = 3
3 = 3
This is a true statement so 3 is the
solution
Answer: The solution is 3

ENTERTAINMENT An adult paid $18.50 for herself
and two students to see a movie. If the two student
tickets cost $11 together, what is the cost of the adult
ticket?
Variable
Let a represent the cost of an
adult movie ticket.
Words
The cost of one adult ticket plus
two student tickets is $18.50.
Two student tickets cost $11
Write
Equation
Total cost is $18.50
a + 11 = 18.50

ENTERTAINMENT An adult paid $18.50 for herself
and two students to see a movie. If the two student
tickets cost $11 together, what is the cost of the adult
ticket?
a + 11 = 18.50
7.50 + 11 = 18.50
Solve equation mentally
THINK What number added to 11 =
18.50
You know that 18.50 - 11 is 7.50,
so try 7.50 as your solution
Replace a with 7.50

ENTERTAINMENT An adult paid $18.50 for herself
and two students to see a movie. If the two student
tickets cost $11 together, what is the cost of the adult
ticket?
7.50 + 11 = 18.50
Add 7.50 + 11
18.50 = 18.50
Bring down = 18.50
This is a true statement so
7.50 is the solution
Answer: The cost of an adult movie ticket is $7.50.
