@tommynaiter please do not just post answers. The code of conduct says "Don't provide someone with just the answer - explain the process, and help guide them through understanding the problem."

Providing just an answer does not help guide the poster through understanding the problem.

Answer 17

Admission to the zoo is $6 for children and $9 for adults. On a certain day, 1480 people go to the zoo and $10,500 is collected.

We can write two equations:

\[10,500 = 6c + 9a\]where \(c\) is the number of children and \(a\) is the number of adults
\[1480 = c+a\]

In other words, count of children + adults is 1480, and the money taken in totals 10,500 if we get $6 per child and $9 per adult.

Know how to solve that system of equations?

Going with an answer you don't even know how to check, much less get, is not the recipe for success...even if it is correct.

Don't you want to know how to solve these yourself, so you have a fighting chance on the test?
