Answer 1

Answer:

3x + 1y = $163

2x + 3y =$174

Step-by-step explanation:

Adult tickets to space amusement park cost x dollars children’s tickets cost y dollars.

Henson family bought 3 adults and 1 child's tickets for $163

x + y = 163

3x + 1y = 163

The Garcia family bought 2 adults and 3 child’s ticket for $174.

x + y = $174

2x + 3y = $174

Therefore the equations representing both families cost are

Henson family

3x + 1y = $163

Garcia family

2x + 3y = $174
