Question

After paying a $10 admission fee, you walk into a carnival. A sign reads "$3 per ride". When your parent picks you up, they asked you how much you spent, and you told them $52. WRITE AN EQUATION that will help you answer the question of how many rides you went on. Do NOT hit the spacebar. Do NOT use capital letters. All fractions must be simplified (no mixed numbers - keep those as improper fractions) PLEASE HELP

Answer:

10+3x=52

Explanation:

If you went on x rides, your cost for the rides is 3x. That added to the $10 admission fee gives you the total you spent:

3x+10=52
