It costs $24
for two adults and two children to see a movie, and it costs the same amount for one adult and four children to see the same movie. Which statement is true?
The statement "2 adults and 2 children can see the movie for the same price as 1 adult and 4 children" is true, and can be represented by the system of equations:

2a + 2c = 24
a + 4c = 24

where a is the cost for one adult and c is the cost for one child.
