Adult ticket costs= $46
Children ticket costs= $104
Let x represent the price of adult tickets
Let y represent the price of children tickets
x + y= 150.......equation 1
8x + 3y= 970........equation 2
From equation 1
x= 150 - y
substitute 150-y for x in equation 2
8(150-y) + 3y= 970
1200- 8y + 3y= 970
-8y + 3y= 970-1200
-5y= -230
y= 230/5
y= 46
From equation 1
x + y= 150
x + 46= 150
x= 150 - 46
x= 104
Hence the cost of children tickets is $104 and the cost of adult tickets is $46

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 2 from both sides:
Subtract 5x from both sides:
Divide both sides by 2:
Let x equal Ahmad’s age.
Since John is 8 years younger than Ahmad, the equation would be as follows:
x+x-8=38
Solve for x:
2x-8=38
38+8=46
2x=46
x=23
23 is Ahmad’s age, subtract 8 from this and you’ll get 15 for John’s age.
