Answer 1

Answer:

the price of the adult's ticket is 14 and the price of the child's ticket is 6

Step-by-step explanation:

$let \: x \: = adult \\ y = child \\ 4x + 3y = 74 - - - - 1\\ 2x + 5y = 58 - - - - - 2 \\ multiplying \: - - 2 \: by \: two \\ 4x + 10y = 116 - - - - 3 \\ eqn3 - eqn1 \\ 4x - 4x + 10y - 3y = 116 - 74 \\ 7y = 42 \\ y = \frac{42}{7} \\ y = 6 \\ putting \: the \: value \: of \: y \: into \: eqn2 \\ 2x + 5(6) = 58 \\ 2x = 28 \\ x = \frac{28}{2} \\ x = 14$
