A minor league baseball team has a member’s club. It costs $25 to join and $5 per ticket. Non-members pay $10 per ticket. How many tickets will it take for the cost to be the same?
A) 3 tickets
B) 5 tickets
C) 7 tickets
D) 10 tickets

Emily and Mark are both on a mountain hike. Emily is currently at 2,700 feet and descending at a rate of 85 feet per minute. Mark is currently at 1,500 feet and ascending at a rate of 35 feet per minute. How many minutes will it take for Emily and Mark to be at the same height?
A) 10 minutes
B) 15 minutes
C) 20 minutes
D) 30 minutes
Answer explanation
To find the time it takes for Emily and Mark to be at the same height, we need to determine when their altitudes will be equal. The time can be calculated by setting their altitudes equal to each other and solving for time. This gives us 2700 - 85t = 1500 + 35t. Solving for t, we get t = 20 minutes. Therefore, it will take 20 minutes for Emily and Mark to be at the same height. Hence, the correct answer is C) 20 minutes.

Solve the equation
12x - 15 = 3(2x+3)
x = 4
x = -4
x = 2
x = -2
Answer explanation
To solve the equation, first distribute the 3 on the right side: 12x - 15 = 6x + 9. Then, isolate x by moving 6x to the left side: 12x - 6x = 9 + 15. Simplify to get 6x = 24, and divide by 6 to find x = 4.
