Answer 2

$8

Explanation:

a: adult tickets

s: student tickets

Mya: 7s + 6(3+s)

Ashley: 15s + 1(3+s)

Mya: 7s + 6(3+s) –> 7s + 18 +6s –> 13s +18

Ashley: 15s + 1(3+s) –> 15s + 3 + s –> 16s +3

13s + 18 = 16s +3

15 = 3s, divide 3 from both sides so s = 5

so students tickets cost $5

since adult tickets cost $3 more than student tickets:

($3 + $5) = $8 for an adult ticket.
