Set 500 to sum of distances traveled by both cars.
It cost $5 for his brother's ticket.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let,
Micheal's ticket price= x
His brother ticket price = y
According to given statement;
x+y=12 Eqn 1
y = x-2 Eqn 2
Putting value of y from Eqn 2 in Eqn 1

Dividing both sides by 2;

Putting x=7 in Eqn 2

It cost $5 for his brother's ticket.

X = y + 12. You then substitute or plug in that from the first equation into the second equation. You get (y+12)+y=18, then you simplify to get your y value. In this case y = 3. The you can plug your y value into either equation. (x+3=18) or (x-3=12) or (x=3+12) either way you get x=15 and y=3.
