5. Max and Evie are comparing the number of ride tickets they have for an amusement park. They notice that Evie has 4 less than three times the number of tickets that Max has. If the number of tickets Max has is represented by n, then which of the following represents the combined number of tickets Max and Evie have in terms of n?

4n - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

3n-4 = the amount of tickets Evie has

n = the amount of tickets Mark has

3n - 4 + n = 4n - 4

i think the answer is .36

step-by-step explanation:

what i did was only 2.88 divided by 8

step-by-step explanation:

12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 7 hours.

4: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m. is a total of 3 hours.

this means that from 4: 00 p.m to 7: 00 p.m. this represents 3/7 of what was lost from 12: 00 p.m. to 7: 00 p.m.

after knowing this, after doing 11,600 - 6,800 = 4,800

4,800 represents 3/7 of what was lost for 7 hours.

we then divide 4,800 by 3 which gets 1,600.

because we know that 1,600 represents 1/7 of how much water was lost, we just have to multiply by 7, which gets 11,200.   after adding 11,200 to how much water was left at 7: 00 p.m. which was 6,800. 11,200 + 6,800 = 18,000

this means that the pool originally had 18,000 gallons in the pool.

you can also check your work by doing 18,000 - 4(1600), which becomes           1800 - 6400 which gets you 11,600.
