Question 6 of 23 Step 1 of 1 00:10:31 The tickets for a rock concert sold out in 4 hours. If there were 40,000 tickets sold, solve the equation \( 40,000-4 x=0 \) to find the number of tickets sold per hour.

To solve the equation \( 40,000 - 4x = 0 \), you can first isolate \( x \) by adding \( 4x \) to both sides, resulting in \( 40,000 = 4x \). Now, divide both sides by \( 4 \) to find \( x \). Doing the math, \( x = \frac{40,000}{4} = 10,000 \). So, 10,000 tickets were sold per hour! Rock concerts have always been a cultural phenomenon, uniting fans through the power of music. The tradition of ticket sales dates back to the early 1900s when events were first organized in venues big enough to accommodate large crowds, ultimately evolving into the fast-paced ticketing we're familiar with today, highlighting the dynamic excitement of live performances! When it comes to solving equations, remember to perform the same operation on both sides to maintain equality. A common mistake is to forget to reverse the operation, which could lead you down the wrong path. Always double-check your calculations and keep an eye out for misreads of the equation setup; those can throw your results off entirely!
