Step 1
5x+2y=48 indicates that five adult tickets and two student tickets cost $48
Similarly 3x+2y=32 indicates that three adult tickets and two student tickets cost $32
As number of students is same, it is obvious that additional charge of
4832=$16 is due to two additional adult tickets.
Hence, each adult ticket must cost $162=$8
