An equation has two sides separated by an equality sign.
…=… Since the price is unknown, let's call it a
p. Neri told Jimar that
his ticket costs
$12 more than hers, so Neri's ticket costs
p−12.95.
p−12.95=…
This expression should be equal to the price of Neri's ticket. Therefore, we can complete the equation by writing
44 on the right-hand side.
p−12.95=44
The equation can now be solved using .
The price of Jimar's ticket is
$56.95.
