In the 1997-1998 season, a couple purchased two hockey tickets and two basketball tickets for 153.92. A hockey ticket cost 4.32 more than a basketball ticket. What were the prices of the individual tickets?
Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Name Stuff.
Name what?
What does it want?
"What were the prices of the individual tickets?"
Name those.

H = Cost of Hockey Ticket
B = Cost of Basketball Ticket

Now, translate the problem statement.

"two hockey tickets and two basketball tickets for 153.92"

2*H + 2*B = 153.92

"A hockey ticket cost 4.32 more than a basketball ticket."

H = B + 4.32

Can you solve the system?
