Final answer:

This mathematics question from middle school algebra asks to solve a system of equations to find the price of pool passes and gym memberships at a recreation center. The problem is partially incomplete due to a cutoff in the additional information needed to set up the second equation. Consequently, we cannot provide a final answer without this information.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a linear system of equations, which is a topic in algebra within the field of mathematics. The problem presents a scenario where a family purchases a combination of pool passes and gym memberships for a total cost, and another individual purchases a different combination of the same items for a different total cost. To solve, we set up two equations based on the given information.

Step-by-step solution:

  1. Let the price of one pool pass be p dollars and the price of one gym membership be g dollars.
  2. According to the given information, 4p + 2g = $96.
  3. Unfortunately, the rest of the question seems to be cutoff. To proceed further, we would need the additional information about the second combination of purchases that the individual makes.
  4. If complete information were provided, we would use the additional information to set up a second equation and solve the system of equations either by substitution or elimination method to find the values of p and g.

Without the full information, this question is incomplete, and thus we cannot provide a final answer.
