Respuesta :

The cost of one adult's admission is  $42.

2a + 4c = $196 equation 1

a - c = $14  equation 2

a -= cost of adult's ticket

b = cost of children's ticket

Make c the subject of the formula in  equation 2

a - 14 = c  equation 3

Substitute for c in  equation 1

2a + 4(a - 14) = 196

2a + 4a - 56 = 196

6a = 252

a = 252÷6
