2a+2s=32  divide all terms by 2

a+s=16  subtract s from both sides

a=16-s

Then we are told that:

6a+7s=106, using a found above in this equation gives you:

6(16-s)+7s=106  perform indicated multiplication on the left side

96-6s+7s=106  combine like terms on left side

96+s=106  subtract 96 from both sides

s=10, and since a=16-s

a=6

So adult tickets cost $6.00 and student tickets cost $10.00.
