Lauren has a points card for a movie theater.
She receives 60 rewards points just for signing up.
She earns 5.5 points for each visit to the movie theater.
She needs 104 points for a free movie ticket.

Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, the number of visits Lauren must make to earn a free movie ticket.

Respuesta :

Multiply points per visit x number of visits, using x for the number of visits:

5.5x

Add that to the points she already has:

5.5x + 60

This needs to equal a total of 104 points:

5.5x + 60 = 104

Now solve for x

5.5x + 60 = 104

Subtract 60 from both sides

5.5x = 44

Divide both sides by 5.5

X = 8

She needs 8 more visits

the answer is 5.5x+60=104
