Answer:

Step-by-step explanation

let's use g for golf and b for batting cages

So let's start with Sylvester

he plays 5 rounds of mini golf so 5g

and he takes 4 turns in the batting cages so 4b

and he pays 60 dollars for this

SO his equation is 5g+4b=60

Now onto Lin

3g for 3 rounds of golf

6b for 6 turns in the batting cages

He pays 45 dollars

SO his equation is 3g+6b=45

Both equations:

5g+4b=60

3g+6b=45

Now you need to cancel out one variable so you can multiply the first equation by 3 and the second one by -5

15g+12b=120

-15g-30b=-225

Now the g will cancel out when you add both equations

-18b=-105

b=105/18 which is about 5.83 dollars

Now plug in 105/18 into any of the original equations and solve for g
