Hello there! :)

I'm happy to help!

Answer:

Adult tickets are $14

Student tickets are $8

Step-by-step explanation:

let's say that [tex]\tt s=student~ticket\\\\[/tex]

And [tex]\tt a=adult~ticket[/tex]

on the first day we have:

[tex]\tt 3s+a=38[/tex]

On the second day we have

[tex]\tt3s+2a=52[/tex]

now we have a system of 2 equations with 2 unknown

[tex]\tt 3s+a=38[/tex]

[tex]\tt 3s+2a=52[/tex]

we will multiply the first equation with -1

[tex]\tt -3s-a=-38\\\tt ~3s+2a=52[/tex]

we solved the system and

a= $14,  forthe adult ticket

s= $8 for the student ticket

Hope this helps!

Have an Awesome day!
