Help Asap.

At the afternoon matinee movie, 2 adult tickets and 5 child tickets cost $41, and 4 adult tickets and 2 child tickets cost $42. Which two equations can be used to determine the price of each ticket?

Let x represent the cost of an adult ticket and y represent the cost of a child ticket.

Answer 1

B

Explanation:

Replace the adult ticket with x and child ticket with y.

The mathematical symbol of and is a plus sign, and put an equal sign at 'cost' since it is the total cost.

2x+ 5y= 41

4x + 2y=42

Hence, the answer is B.
