X = pencils, y = pens
8x + 6y = 8.50
4x + 4y = 5.....multiply by -2
----------------
8x + 6y = 8.50
-8x - 8y = -10 (result of multiplying by -2)
-----------------add
-2y = - 1.50
y = -1.50 / -2
y = 0.75 <=== pens cost 0.75
4x + 4y = 5
4x + 4(0.75) = 5
4x + 3 = 5
4x = 5 - 3
4x = 2
x = 2/4
x = 0.50 <== pencils cost 0.50
Answer:
The graph on the far right
Step-by-step explanation:
The negative in front of the absolute value indicates that the parent function |x| has been reflected over the x-axis and points downwards.

Children tickets were three dollars, so 3x children tickets cost 
Adult tickets were seven dollar, so x adult tickets cost 
The school sold $6000 worth of tickets.
Hence,
