f + 4c = 23......multiply by -5
5f + 3c = 30
-----------------
-5f - 20c = -115 (result of multiplying by -5)
5f + 3c = 30
----------------add
-17c = - 85
c = -85/-17
c = 5 <=== roller coaster costs 5 tickets per ride

f + 4c = 23
f + 4(5) = 23
f + 20 = 23
f = 23 - 20
f = 3 <=== the ferriswheel costs 3 tickets per ride
