X + (2x + 40) + (3x – 50) = 15,002

x + (2x + 40) + (3x - 50) = 15002

Remove the parentheses

x + 2x + 40 + 3x - 50 = 15002

Combine like terms

x + 2x + 3x + 40 - 50 = 15002

6x - 10 = 15002

6x = 15002 + 10

6x = 15012

x = 15012/6

x = 2502

this might get deleted, sorry. it has to be an actual question. if you really wanted to give someone free points, ask a question like "why does the sky look blue, and the sun is yellow to our eyes? "

step-by-step explanation:

75 tickets have been sold so far.

step-by-step explanation:

in this question it is clearly mentioned that 45 children's tickets have been sold and this number is 60% of the total tickets sold.

now let's assume the total number of tickets sold be x.

then 60% of x = 45

⇒

⇒ x(.6) = 45

by dividing with .6 on both the sides of the equation

⇒ x = 75

therefore 75 tickets have been sold so far.
