An amusement park charges admission plus a fee for each ride. admission plus two rides costs 10$ admission plus five rides cost 16$ what is the charge for admission? what is the cost per ride?

The admission is $6, while the cost per ride is $2.Work:a + 2f = 10a + 5f = 16
Used Elimination.(-1)a + 2f = 10 ---> -a - 2f = -10a + 5f = 16
3f = 6f = 2

Substitution.
a + 5(2) = 16a + 10 = 16   - 10    -10
a = 6
