4s+9c=86
2s+8c=64
and solve for s , c
- JerryLv 48 years ago
s = cost of a senior citizen ticket
c = cost of a child ticket
On the first day, 4s+9c=86
On the second day, 2s+8c=64
Multiply the second equation by -2 to get
-4s-16c= -128
4s+9c=86
Combine both equations to get
-7c= -42
Divide both sides by -7 to get
c=6
plug that back in as c to get
s=8

4s + 9c = 86
2s + 8c = 64
MULTIPLY EQUATION 2 BY 2
4s + 16c = 128
4s + 9c = 86
SUBTRACT
7c = 42
c = $6
s = $ 8 ANSWER
