Answer:

$12 per game, $40 for a membership, y = 12x + 40

Step-by-step explanation:

e = entry fee , m = membership, y = total cost

3e + m = 76

7e + m = 124

m = 124 - 7e

3e + (124 - 7e) = 76

-4e + 124 = 76

-4e = -48

e = 12

The entry fee is $12 per game

m = 124 - 7e

m = 124 - 7(12)

m = 124 - 84

m = 40

The cost of a membership is $40.

Check:

40 + 3(12) = 76

40 + 36 = 76

76 = 76

The prices are correct so the equation would be:

y = 12x + 40
