Kymani Mosley · Answer 1

Let x represent student tickets

Let y represent adult tickets

y = 3.00 + x ... (1)

Total cost

= 3x + y (3 student tickets and 1 adult ticket)

= 3x + 3 + x (sub equation (1))

= 4x + 3

Li · Answer 2

y is going to rep students

x adults

if y=$12 and x=y+$3

you have to take $12 and add $3

so Alex's dad ticket will be $15
