Brandon earns a rebate each month on his meals and movie tickets. He earns $0.50 for each movie ticket and $2 for each meal. Last month Brandon purchased 22 movie tickets and earned $25. Part A: Create an equation that will determine the number of meals he purchased. (3 points) Part B: Solve this equation justifying each step with an algebraic property of equality. (6 points) Part C: How many meals did Brandon purchase last month? (1 point)

Step 1
Let M be the number of meals Brandon purchased. The total amount earned from movie tickets is $0.50 * 22 = $11. The total amount earned from meals is $2 * M. The total amount earned is $11 + $2M = $25. So, the equation is: $11 + 2M = 25 ** Show more…

(6 pts each) For each situation, write an equation using a variable. Then solve the equation to answer the question. A) Krista has 4 more T-shirts than Leann has, and Marika has 2 fewer T-shirts than Leann has. The three students have 20 T-shirts in all. How many T-shirts does each have? B) The entry fee at the fair is $5, and ride tickets cost 75¢ each. Pat spent $19.25 in all, for entry and ride tickets. How many ride tickets did Pat buy?

Every week, Dave goes to one of the two nearby movie theaters for movie night. Theater A charges $9.25 per ticket. Theater B charges $11 per ticket. He spent a total of $538.75 last year for 52 movie nights. How many times did he go to each theater? 1.) Identify the variable(s), 2.) Write an equation, 3.) Solve the equation and 4.) State the solution # of visits to Theater A = # of visits to Theater B =

For the following exercises, create a system of linear equations to describe the behavior. Then, solve the system for all solutions using Cramer’s Rule. A movie theatre sold tickets to three movies. The tickets to the first movie were $5, the tickets to the second movie were $11, and the third movie was $12. 100 tickets were sold to the first movie. The total number of tickets sold was 642, for a total revenue of $6,774. How many tickets for each movie were sold?
