Answer 3

@Caitlynn_Faucher Remember not to just give answers as people come here to see how people get the answer. If they just wanted the answer, they would look in the back of the book.

Answer 4

x=cost for 1 kid's ticket
y=cost for 1 adult's ticket

33x+20y = 464
17x+10y = 236 ]*2

33x+20y = 464
34x+20y = 472 subtract the 2 equations

-x = -8
so x=$8

Answer 5
