Hello there! :)
Answer:
x=41/2 and x=20.5 to 21.0
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you subtract by 2 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]4x+2-2=84-2[/tex]
Then, you subtract by the numbers from left to right,
[tex]84-2=82[/tex]
[tex]4x=82[/tex]
You divide by 4 from both sides of an equation.
[tex]\frac{4x}{4}=\frac{82}{4}[/tex]
Finally, you divide by the numbers from left to right.
[tex]x=\frac{41}{2}=20.5=21.0[/tex]
Final answer is x=41/2, 20.5=21.0
Hope this helps!
Have a nice day! :)

Answer:
Tickets to the local fair cost $4 each, and there is a $2 parking fee. Tom spends $84 at the fair. How many people could Tom have bought tickets for? (Assume he spends some money on other things at the fair.)
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of people going to the fair. Since it costs $4 for each ticket, this gives us the expression 4x.
Since there is a $2 parking fee, we add 2 to our expression, giving us 4x+2.
Since Tom spends $84 at the fair, this gives us 4x+2=84.
To solve this, look at the side of the equation with the variable, 4x+2. Start with the number farthest away from the variable, 2. To cancel it, we would perform the opposite operation; it was added, so we subtract:
4x+2-2 = 84-2
4x=82
The only other number left to cancel is 4. Since it is multiplied by x, we will cancel it by performing the opposite operation, division:
4x/4 = 82/4
x = 20.5
Since Tom can't pay for half of a person to enter the fair, he could have paid for 20 people to enter. (Again, remember that Tom spent money on other things at the fair as well.)
