Y can be 4 because:
2y = 2*4 = 8
48 - 8 = 40
After that we calculate using 5x:
5x = 40
x = 40 / 5
x = 8
The same logic and numbers can apply to the second equation:
2y = 2*4 = 8
32 - 8 = 24
Now we work with 3x:
3x = 24
x = 24 / 3
x = 8

The cost for each adult ticket is $8 and this can be determined by using the substitution method and the given data.
Given :
The equations 5x + 2y = 48 and 3x + 2y = 32 represent the money collected from school concert ticket sales during two class periods.
The following steps can be used in order to determine the cost for each adult ticket:
Step 1 - Write the given equation.
2y = 48 - 5x --- (1)
3x + 2y = 32 --- (2)
Step 2 - Now, substitute the value of 2y in equation (2).
3x + 48 - 5x = 32
48 - 32 = 2x
x = $8
Step 3 - Now, substitute the value of 'x' in equation (1).
2y = 48 - 5(8)
2y = 48 - 40
2y = 8
y = $4
