Cool Down: Carnival Tickets A school is holding a carnival and hopes to raise $500. Child Tickets cost $3 and adult tickets cost $5. If the school sells x child tickets and y adult tickets, then the equation 3x +5y = 500 expresses the fact that the school raised exactly $500 from ticket sales. 1. Solve the equation for x. We have to make 500 into a number that can be divisible by 3. 5*4-200 500-200300/33D100 I 2. Explain when it might be helpful to rewrite the equation this way.
