A group of friends are going to see the newest action movie. The price of a ticket is $6.25. As a group, they spent $12 on refreshments. If they spent a total of $30.75 on tickets and refreshments, how many people went to the movies?

Which equation represents the scenario?

• 6.25=30.75

• 2.65x+10x=30.75

• 12x=30.75

• 6.25x+12x=30.75

n a football tournament, the Bees scored 9 less than three times as many points as the Hornets. The Wasps scored 28 more points than the Hornets. Together the three teams scored 184 points. Let x represent the number of points scored by the Hornets.

Translate the scenario.

Hornets = x

• (Bees:x+28) (Wasp: 3x-9) (Equation: 4x- 20+3x=184

• (Bees:3x-9) (Wasp: x+28) (Equation: 4x- 20+3x=184

• (Bees:3x-9) (Wasp: x+28) (Equation: x+(3x-9)+(x+28)=184

• (Bees:3x-9) (Wasp: x+28) (Equation:(3x-9)+(x+28)=184
