6x + 102 = 1,140

Step-by-step explanation:

We're looking for the sum. The insurance cost 17 dollars per ticket, and there are 6 tickets, so we have to multiply. 17 times 6 is 102. Next, we subtract 102 from both sides. 6x = 1,038. Then, divide by 6. x = 173. So, one ticket costs 173. I don't know if the insurance is included, but if it is, then add 17 and you get 190.
