The five members of the Traynor family each buy train tickets. During the train ride, each family member buys a boxed lunch for $6.50. If the total cost of the trip is $248.50, what is the price of each train ticket. Write an equation and solve to find the cost of one train ticket, x.

• X = $56.20

• X = $43.20

• X = $48.40

• X = $33.23

Explain how the Distributive Property can be used to solve the equation 3(x+4)=36.

• Multiply the first term in the parentheses by 3, then add 3 to the second term in the parentheses. Then solve the equation using inverse operations.

• Add 3 to both terms inside the parentheses to expand the expression, then solve using inverse operations.

• Divide both sides of the equation by 3 to simplify the equation, then use inverse operations to solve for x.

• Multiply both terms inside the parentheses by 3 to expand the expression, then use inverse operations to solve the equation.
