Answer #5: Word Problem

San Francisco = x
Los Angeles= x + 4
San Diego = x + 7          =     5x + 41
Anaheim = x + 12
Oakland = x + 17
  Solve:   Ticket Price per Stadium  
  5x + 41 = $321   San Francisco = x = $56  
  5x + 41 - 41 = 321 - 41   Los Angeles = x + 4 = 56 + 4 = $60  
  5x = 280   San Diego = x + 7 = 56 + 7 = $63  
  5x / 5 = 280 / 5   Anaheim = x + 12 = 56 + 12 = $68  
  x = $56   Oakland = x + 17 = 56 + 17 = $73
