The But tamnly consists of 2 adults and 3 children. They spent \( \$ 36 \) for \( z 00 \) tickets. The equation \( 2 x+3 y=36 \) describes the cost for \( x \) adult tickets and \( y \) child tickets. Part of the equation is graphed below. What is the \( y \) - 56:31 intercept? \( (0,12) \) \( (0,18) \) (12 0\( ) \) Save and Exit Next Submit Mark this and return

Two families went to Rollercoaster World. The Brown family paid $170 for 3 children and 2 adults. The Peckham family paid $360 for 4 children and 6 adults. If x is the price of a child's ticket in dollars and y is the price of an adult's ticket in dollars, write a system of equations that models this situation.

Tickets at an amusement park cost $27 for children and $36 for adults. 2,400 tickets were sold, totaling $74,340 in receipts. Suppose you want to find out how many of each type of ticket were sold. Let x be the number of children tickets sold and y be the number of adult tickets sold. Write a system of two equations involving variables x and y corresponding to the information given about the tickets: Find the solution of your system of equations from part (a). Interpret the solution in a sentence, in terms of ticket sales at the amusement park.
