At a festival, Cherly bought 5 ride tokens and 9 game tokens. She spent $59. Let x represent the cost of ride tokens and let y represent the cost of game tokens. Write an equation in standard for that can be used to determine how much each type of token costs.

We know that:
Token Cost + Game Cost = Total Cost

Since cost = price * quantity, we have:
5x + 9y = 59
