<h3>Cool Down Activity&nbsp;</h3>
<p>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.<br></p>
<ol class="os-raise-noindent">
  <li>Solve the equation for \( x \).

    <p>Compare your answer: Your answer may vary, but here is a sample.&nbsp;Solving for \(x\) helps us find out the number of child tickets to sell if we know the number of adults attending the carnival and we want to make exactly $500 from ticket sales.
