Let

x -----> the price of a senior citizen ticket

y -----> the price of a student ticket

we have that

First day

6x+14y=136 -------> equation A

Second day

5x+2y=36 ------> equation B

Solve the system of equations

I will solve the system by graphing

Remember that when solving a system by graphing, the solution is the intersection point both lines

so

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

Please wait a minute

the solution is the point (4,8)

that means

the price of a senior citizen ticket is $4

the price of a student ticket is $8
