Nash Sullivan · Answer 1

Price for roller coaster ride:x

Prices for the entry fee:y

From table: for 5 rides total price is $35: 5x+y=35

for 11 rides total price is $59: 11x+y=59

5x+y=35⇒y=35-5x

11x+y=59

y=35-5x

11x+35-5x=59⇒6x=59-35

y=35-5x

6x=24⇒x=24/6

x=4⇒y=35-5*4

y=15

Price for entry fee is $15, and for each roller coaster ride $4.
