answer
attempt 1 out of 2
total tickets, 6 adult tickets and 25 kids tickets:
total tickets, a adult tickets and k kids tickets:

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate total tickets for 6 adults and 25 kids

To find the total number of tickets, we add the number of adult tickets and the number of kids tickets. So we add 6 and 25.
$6 + 25 = 31$

Step2: Find the expression for \(a\) adult and \(k\) kids tickets

The total number of tickets is the sum of the number of adult tickets (\(a\)) and the number of kids tickets (\(k\)). So the expression is \(a + k\).

Answer:

Total tickets, 6 adult tickets and 25 kids tickets: \(\boldsymbol{31}\)
Total tickets, \(a\) adult tickets and \(k\) kids tickets: \(\boldsymbol{a + k}\)
