Hello there!

Your question states: Levi purchased a total of 50 ride and game tickets and the amusement park and spent $29. if ride tickets cost 75 cents each and game tickets cost 50 cents each, how many ride tickets did he purchase?

x = rides

y = games

x + y= 50

0.75x + 0.50y = 29 

To solve this system of equations, we can graph (attached below).

As we can see, the answer is (16, 34) 

This means that he purchased 16 ride tickets and 34 game tickets.

Hope I helped!

let me know if you need anything else!
