Tournament Passes and Ticket Sales

This video tutorial demonstrates solving an application problem using a linear equation in one variable. It follows a structured problem-solving strategy, starting with reading the problem, identifying and naming the unknowns, translating the problem into an equation, solving the equation, and verifying the solution. The example used is a water polo tournament ticket sales problem, where the number of day and tournament passes sold is determined. The video concludes with a verification of the solution and a summary of the results.

If 'd' represents the number of day passes sold, how is the number of tournament passes expressed?

• d + 50

• d + 37

• d + 30

• d + 20

What is the equation formed to represent the total value of tickets sold?

• 20d + 30d = 17610

• 20d + 30(d + 37) = 17610

• 20(d + 37) + 30d = 17610

• 30d + 20(d + 37) = 17610
