anonymous · Answer

I don't think that's the right answer, @Onister

abdela25 · Answer

this is how its done lets make it simpler by replacing numbers with variables 

2A+3c=24 

A=C+2

abdela25 · Answer

do you get it

abdela25 · Answer

sorry for the typo i meant 2A+3C=34 not 24

anonymous · Answer

Yes I get it... So like wouldn't it be like

2(c + 2) + 3c =34 ...?

abdela25 · Answer

yeah kind of

abdela25 · Answer

substituting 
2(c+2)+3c=34 - just like you said

abdela25 · Answer

2c+4+3c=34 
5c=30

which equals C=6 
a childs ticket is $6 
A=C+2 or now A=6+2=8
an Adult ticket costs $8 and a childs ticket cost $6
