Let C be the cost of a child's ticket.....and 2C be the cost of an adult ticket....then
2 child's tickets cost 2(C) = 2C
And 2 adult tickets cost 2(2C) = 4C
So the total cost is given by
2C + 4C = 24 simplify
6C = 24 divide both sides by 6
C = 4 and the cost of a child's ticket in dollars
And 2(4) = 8 = the cost of an adult ticket in dollars
Just as AmandaXo has found !!!
Okay, so I found this video that explains what the distributive property is.
maybe you should watch it: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/pre-algebra/order-of-operations/ditributive_property/v/the-distributive-property
I am watching it right now, and I will try then to solve the problem you need help with. Then send me a private message and tell me what u got for an answer, I will tell u if that is also what I got, sound good?
hope this helps!!
