Answer: adults = $10

Step-by-step explanation:

x = adults

y = children

2x + 2y = 30

2x + 3y = 35

Using the elimination method:

2x + 2y = 30

-2x - 3y = -35 (multiplied by -1, to give 2x -2x = 0)

Solve for y...

2y = 30

-3y = -35

Add together...

-y = -5

Multiply by -1 to give positive value for y...

y = $5

Plug into one of the original equation to find x...

2x + 10 = 30

2x = 20

x = $10
