let x=

Let y=

system of equation:

B' Solve system of equation

c' Write answer using a complete sentence.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's say that the price of an adult ticket is x and a student ticket is y.

we know that 6 adult tickets (6x) and 10 student tickets (10y) equal 122, so 6x+10y=122. Then, 11x+5y=157

6x+10y=122

11x+5y=157

Multiply the first equation by - 1/2 and add it to the second to cancel out the y

8x=96

x=12

Plug this back in to equation 2 to find y

132+5y=157

y=5

Checking this with the first equation, it all works out.

The price of an adult ticket for a charity football game is $12, while the price for a student ticket for the same game is $5
