$3 s + c = 38$ $3s+c=38$

$3 s + 2 c = 52$ $3s+2c=52$

First let’s define some variables:

Now we can represent the first situation.

$3$ $color(red)(3)$ senior tickets and $1$ $color(blue)(1)$ child ticket costing $$ 38$ $color(green)($38)$ in all can be represented by:

$3 s + 1 c = 38$ $color(red)(3s)+color(blue)(1c)=color(green)(38)$

So that’s the first equation in the system.

To find the second, we do the same thing:

$3$ $color(red)(3)$ senior tickets and $2$ $color(blue)(2)$ child tickets costing $$ 52$ $color(green)($52)$ in all can be represented by:

$3 s + 2 c = 52$ $color(red)(3s)+color(blue)(2c)=color(green)(52)$

And that’s the second equation.
