Answer:

y=6x+10a

Explanation:

let the number of children be x

and the number of adults be a

let the total price be y

given that children tickets are $6 each

also, an adult ticket is $10

x+a=14-------1

y=6x+10a----2

Therefore the expression for the total price can be expressed as

y=6x+10a
