At an amusement park, each premium ride costs $12 and each gold star ride is $8. stan spends $96 on tickets and he gets 3 more premium rides than gold star rides. how much does he spend on gold star rides?

 The amount of money spent on gold star rides is $24.

Step-by-step explanation:  Let, 'x' and 'y' denotes the number of premium rides and gold star rides respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

Substituting the value of 'x' from equation (ii) in equation (i), we get

So, the number of gold star rides = 4.

Therefore, the total amount of money that spent on gold star rides

= $(3 × 8)

= $ 24.

Thus, the answer is $ 24.

d, x=8

step-by-step explanation:

simplifying

4x + -5 = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 2x + 11

reorder the terms:

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving

-5 + 4x = 11 + 2x

solving for variable 'x'.

move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

add '-2x' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 4x + -2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 4x + -2x = 2x

-5 + 2x = 11 + 2x + -2x

combine like terms: 2x + -2x = 0

-5 + 2x = 11 + 0

-5 + 2x = 11

add '5' to each side of the equation.

-5 + 5 + 2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: -5 + 5 = 0

0 + 2x = 11 + 5

2x = 11 + 5

combine like terms: 11 + 5 = 16

2x = 16

divide each side by '2'.
