Question

Answer 1

so poorly phrased question. But I think I get the gist of what they want: so set up two equations with two unknowns one will add to ten, the other will add to 37

If you use the chart. Look at the total tickets used. How do you get 37? What do you do with the columns of a table?

Answer 21

Answer 22

Can you see the table?????, I see it and all you have to do is sum up the roller coaster and boat ride tickets, the third column and equal them to the total number of tickets. Do that and you will find which equation is the correct one.
