you go to the fair and it cost $5 to get inside. then you buy 2 ticket booklets. you spend $25.how much did each booklet cost
$10
t = ticket booklet
$5 + 2t = $25
subtract $5 from each side of the equal sign
2t = $25-$5
$25 - $5 = $20
2t = $20
divide by 2 on each side
t = $10
25 - 5 = 20 the cost of two booklets.
20 /2 =$10 cost per booklet.
