    Price for roller coaster ride:x

    Prices for the entry fee:y

    From table: for 5 rides total price is $35: 5x+y=35

    for 11 rides total price is $59: 11x+y=59

    5x+y=35⇒y=35-5x

    11x+y=59

    y=35-5x

    11x+35-5x=59⇒6x=59-35

    y=35-5x

    6x=24⇒x=24/6

    x=4⇒y=35-5*4

    y=15

    Price for entry fee is $15, and for each roller coaster ride $4.
