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

What is the first step in the problem-solving strategy outlined in the video?

• Identify what you are looking for

• Check the answer

• Read the problem

• Solve the equation

What was the total value of tickets sold on the first day of the water polo tournament?

• $20,000

• $17,610

• $37,000

• $30,000

What is the first step in solving the equation?

• Divide by 50

• Combine like terms

• Distribute 30

• Subtract 1110

After simplifying, what is the equation before isolating the variable term?

• 50d = 17610

• 50d + 1110 = 17610

• 20d + 1110 = 17610

• 30d + 1110 = 17610

What operation is used to isolate the variable 'd'?

• Addition

• Subtraction

• Multiplication

• Division

How many day passes were sold according to the solution?

• 330

• 500

• 367

• 400
