Answer:

3s + c = 38 3s + 2c = 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer: Senior Citizen Ticket = $8, Child Ticket = $12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's use S for senior tickets, C for child tickets.

3S + 1C = 38

3S + 2C = 52

Find C in terms of S with the first equation:

C = 38 - 3S

Now substitute the above equation for C in our second equation to find S.

3S + 2(38 - 3S) = 52

3S + 76 - 6S = 52

-3S = -24

S = 8

Now plug this value for S back into the first equation:

3(8) + C = 38

C = 12

So S = $8 and C = $12
