The system of equations are p = 150 + 5n and p = 15n

Solution:

Given that, The Parks and recreation department in your town offers a season pass for $150.

With the season pass you pay $5 per session to use the town's tennis courts.

Without the season pass you pay $15 per session to use the tennis courts.

We have to write a system of equations to represent the situation

Now, let the number of sessions be "n" and total paying amount be "p"

Then in case of taking season pass

total amount = season pass cost + $5 per session

p = 150 + 5 x n

p = 150 + 5n

And in case of no season pass

total amount = 15 per session

p = 15 x n

p = 15n

Hence, the system of equations are p = 150 + 5n and p = 15n
