Answer 2

let ticket from A to B be x
let ticket from A to C be y
so 2x+3y=77
3x+2y=73
solve for x and y

Answer 3

let B be the fares for city B from A
let C be the fares for city C from A

you can convert this to the following system

2B + 3C = 77
3B + 2C = 73

can you solve the system ?

Answer 4

when u solve this
the ans would be x=13, y=17
