Answer:

Adult ticket = $4

Student ticket = $7

Explanation:

• On first day:


{ \rm{13x + 11y = 129 - - - \{eqn(a) \}}}

• On second day:


{ \rm{13x + 2y = 66 - - - \{eqn(b) \}}}

• Solving simultaneously;

Equation (a) - Equation (b):


- { \underline{ \rm{ \binom{13x + 11y = 129}{13x + 2y = 66} }}} \\ { \rm{00x + 9y = 63}} \\ \\ { \rm{y = (63)/(9) }} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \rm{ \: y = 7 \: }}} \\ \\ { \rm{13x + 2(7) = 66}} \\ \\ { \rm{13x + 14 = 66}} \\ \\ { \rm{13x = 52}} \\ \\ { \boxed{ \rm{x = 4}}}
