#3s+c=38#

#3s+2c=52#

First let’s define some variables:

Now we can represent the first situation.

#color(red)(3)# senior tickets and #color(blue)(1)# child ticket costing #color(green)($38)# in all can be represented by:

#color(red)(3s)+color(blue)(1c)=color(green)(38)#

So that’s the first equation in the system.

To find the second, we do the same thing:

#color(red)(3)# senior tickets and #color(blue)(2)# child tickets costing #color(green)($52)# in all can be represented by:

#color(red)(3s)+color(blue)(2c)=color(green)(52)#

And that’s the second equation.
