The four equivalent expressions that gives the number of tickets Simphiwe has left in terms of x, where x is the number of meals she has already bought are;

  • 14-2x
  • 2(7-x)
  • 14 - x - x
  • 10 + 4 - 2x

Equation

  • number of meals she has already bought = x
  • Total number of tickets = 14
  • Number of tickets per meal = 2

Four equivalent expressions that gives the number of tickets Simphiwe has left in terms of x are;

  • 14-2x
  • 2(7-x)
  • 14 - x - x
  • 10 + 4 - 2x

In the expression 14−2x

  • 14 represents the number of tickets Simphiwe started with since the value of the expression is 14

  • −2 represents the number of tickets she spends per meal.

  • 2x represents the number of tickets she has to subtract from her initial amount after x meals.

In the expression 2(7−x),

  • 7 represents the total number of meals Simphiwe can get

  • (7−x) represents the number of meals she has left

  • 2 represents the number of tickets required for each ride Simphiwe has left.
