Adult tickets were $18 each. Student tickets were $13 each. We bought x number of adult tickets and one student ticket for a total of $103. Create an equation to determine the number of adult tickets bought.

• 5x + 13 = 103

• 18x + 13 = 103

• 103 = 13x + 18

• 103 = 5x + 18

Billy bought 5 tickets that each cost the same amount. If he spent a total of $62.00 on the tickets, how much did each ticket cost? Let d represent the number of tickets and write an equation to solve this problem.
