Can someone help me with this please

The system of equations is

40x + 55y = 920

40x + 65y = 1000

x is the cost of the adult ticket; y is the cost of the child ticket

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have to solve this, elimination is a good method.

Subtract the top equation from the second equation.

40x + 65y = 1000

-40x + 55y = 920  x cancels  Solve for y

0  + 10y  =  80    Divide both sides by 10

y  = 8 .  Substitute 8 for y in either equation and solve for x

40x + 65(8) = 1000

40x + 520 = 1000   Subtract 520 from both sides

  40x = 1000 - 520

40x = 480   Divide both sides by 40

x = 12
